Bibby Stockholm: Asylum barge pictured leaving Portland

The asylum seeker barge Bibby Stockholm has been pictured leaving port, 18 months after it arrived.

Images show the vessel being towed away from Portland Port, after the last asylum seekers left the barge in November.

Bibby Stockholm first arrived in Dorset in July 2023, to be used as accommodation for asylum seekers awaiting decisions on their applications.

The departure means the contract between the Home Office and Portland Port has expired and the barge will be returned to its owners, Bibby Marine.
