Putting the Queen Mary on the right course

[ July 1, 2024   //   ]

Bullet Express and Intercounty Distribution are helping to give a ship restoration project a new direction. The companies, both members of the Pall-Ex network, have delivered the original rudder for the TS Queen Mary from Glasgow to Cornwall. A bespoke crate was developed to ensure the rudder’s safety during transit by Pall-Ex member.

The critical component went to Wills Ridley for a full inspection and a proposal for repair. Transportation was free of charge to support the charity, Friends of TS Queen Mary which is  restoring the iconic ship to carry passengers and serve as a skills and training cadet ship for young people. The charity intervened in 2015 when the historic ship was on the verge of being scrapped.
