The owner of Breeze Essex has posted this in a number of local Facebook groups. Let the speculation begin:

"I'm involved with a big radio station project that needs a fully working ship with accommodation on board for 21 days in the coming few months. This might be something that is currently not in use and is available quickly

If anyone on the quays can help or you have a contact I'd be really grateful if you could pass this information onto me please as time is against us to get this going Many thanks"
