Many thanks Florian

I served in the SIR LAMORAK in 1984 and good to hear that she is still running!

Hi Tarbatness,

I agree, they are looking very similiar indeed, almost like sister ships.
But the TALOS is around 15 meters longer.

TALOS (built as STARMARK in 1971):

And the best… Both are still in service... Fantastic! I like them both :-))

Looks very similar to the RFA SIR LAMORAK that served briefly for the RFA in the mid-80's. Previous name was LAKESPAN ONTARIO
