Oil to Rotherham

In November 2008 Rix Petroleum of Hull did a run up the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation to Greenline oils at Rotherham with petroleum products. The first Rix tanker used was "Rix Owl". We are pleased to bring to you some of the first pictures of Rix Phoenix thanks to our roving photographer Andy Horn for getting the shots for us.
