A Royal Navy press release piece from a few weeks ago points to the similarly shaped vessel in Cammell Lairds being the Topaz Tangaroa, which is described as being currently blue before acquiring a coat of Royal Navy grey. Or perhaps both vessels are in Cammell Lairds? Many thanks to George Jones for the link by e-mail.

Looks like the built the ship and then someone said "Oops its meant to have a helipad" and then put one one. If they ever build the cruise terminal is the tatty old landing stage being removed?

I believe the old remnants are from the baggage hall on the Princes landing stage (long gone) and will be demolished before the cruise terminal is built.
