The Tyneside ship repair yard A&P Tyne has won a significant contract to repair a coal carrying bulk carrier. In the past, repair work on the 22,447 dwt Lord Hinton, owned by energy company EON, was carried out in Poland. Hebburn- based A&P Tyne is reported to have won the contract because of its high safety standards. EON spokesman Clive Burfoot said: "We were extremely impressed by A&P Tyne's commitment to safety, which is our number one priority. In fact, the crew have said that A&P runs one of the safest dry-docks that their ship's ever been to."
