Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

To paraphrase the fine folks at Revell on this great kit:

Built in 1976 as "Smit Houston," this 16,000 hp class tug was chartered in 1990 to Greenpeace by the owners SmitWijs. The crane of the foredeck was removed to make room for the extension of the top of the forecastle into a helicopter deck, capable of carrying a total weight of 4 tons. Renamed "Waker" in 1995 by the next owner "SWI," the ship, stationed at Den Helder, will remain at least until 2010 with the Netherlands Coast Guard. The ship, chartered by its present owner Svitzer, has a length of 67.50 meters with 6.23 meters of draught. Propelled by two 6-cylinder Stork Werkspoor diesel engines with a capacity of 2 x 4,600 hp (2 x 3,380 kW), it reaches an operational speed of 14 knots.
