That's right. She was sold as a going concern to Semco and changed her name to Salviscount. Her replacement was Salvageman which was a large, 4 engine, anchor handling and deep sea tug built in Hong Kong in 1980. She had the distinction of being one of the longest serving ships in the Falklands Task force working around the Falkland s for around 2.d tears and was very involved, together with the United tug Yorkshireman, in the salvage work and eventual scuttling of the Argentine submarine Santa Fe in Grytviken, South Georgia.
