Originally Svitzer Mjølner were to be the last of the first three tugs, but as alterations had to be made for the Svitzer Milford (no. two of the tree tugs) to go into british rg. it was decided to rename Svitzer Milford (no. two of the tree) to Svitzer Mjølner because the original Svitzer Mjølner (no. three of the three) was not yet finished and therefore easyer to alter for british rg.
So the current Svitzer Mjølner is the second tug in the row and therefor yard no. 705 and IMO 9292864.
The current Svitzer Milford is yard no. 706 and IMO 9292876.
