Sorry mate can't help with the Sib, but...
The other tall ship you mentioned is the Kaskelot, usually moored here too along with Phoenix.

According to Companies House: ML Lifeguard Equipment Ltd changed its name to Lifeguard Equipment Ltd, are still a registered company and submitted accounts and annual returns last year.

They are registerred at the same address as Survitec and RFD Beaufort - not sure that will help (I assume they have been swallowed into the Surviitec Group).
