Vortex.
My small collection of images of the 839 Gross Ton Pusher Tug Vortex are all dated 2011 which suggests to me that she was not deployed at the Fawley Refinery Southampton for longer than a year. She was built in Spain a year earlier (2010) and when she was at Fawley she was Registered in the United Kingdom. Using her IMO number (IMO 9525508) as an Internet search term reveals that in November 2022 she is now named Vita C and is Registered in Italy. The image shows her tied up at the Esso berths of the Fawley Refinery and was captured from the upper deck of a Red Funnel car and passenger ferry that was outbound for East Cowes Isle of Wight.
