Nope, I said it would be a surprising one..
Hint: it's in New Horizons..

Ah, it's Agile Solution with 5000 rpm. Like it very much on MP.

Here is the next question:
Which mission and which environment is this in?

thats the solent and the mission is i believe quick trip across the solent or something close to that

[saltydog]

That's it Foyen, it did surprise me that her engines went 5000 rpm for such a large ship..

Maybe it's because it's such a large ship?

[saltydog]

Compare it to Latitude with her 74 rpm..

-But we get off topic..

I think it's ok for Latitude - 2 stroke low speed diesel engine with direct power output to the prop. Large ships with single engine usually have diesels of this type.

Last bit off-topic: perhaps there wasn't any room on agile for such a BIG engine and BIG prop

Or, perhaps they just did the RPM wrong, remember the titanic once had 5000rpm

  If Titanic (!) once had 5000 rpm, then 5000 rpm for Agile - that's another mistake by Vstep, or maybe it's equipped with turbo. Agile Solution's design is based on Deo Volente (www.hartmanseatrade.com), SO, according to the ship particulars, it's powered by Wärtsilä 8L32  engine, which has power output 3680kW at 720 - 750 rpm  (http://www.wartsila.com/Wartsila/global/docs/en/ship_power/media_publications/brochures/product/engines/medium_speed/w32_tr.pdf,    page 15)

Oopsy, offtopic

Here's an easy one:

What essential part is missing on this ship..?

the flowers on hte table

[saltydog]

Right you are, can't leave port without them..
Your go..

[bbydino05]

ok if a ship is to get stuck in a storm with no fuel and all of the communication and gadgets went out what do u do

[saltydog]

Screaming hysterically, and running around in wild panic seems like a good option..

[bbydino05]

nope

Swim

[FOYEN]

Spend your time by playing SS08  (using emergency diesel-generator) & hope that someday you'll reach the land or you'll be saved.......   

The better way is jump into the sea with anchor in hands  (I suppose, this should be in the "Joke of the day" topic)

[saltydog]

This is a rather "vague" question, do you have another bbydino..?
Of course, we are all curious what to do in your described circumstances..

[bbydino05]

u hop into the lifeboats and get some extra fuel. and try to make it to sea and anyone of you can go

[saltydog]

Getting close to sleepy time now, not sure if I can give a green light..
Where is this..?

[FOYEN]

I'll answer Marseille (although, it maybe also in SF) & go to sleep

[saltydog]

It is in Marseille area, and I'm off to bed..

[CaptainMike1]

It is in Marseille area, and I'm off to bed..

Don't forget to put your clock back one hour tonight!!

[FOYEN]

Oh, then it should be 0:19 on my watch now, not 1:16    Then I'll have another 1 hour before sleep  

[saltydog]

Here are two pictures of the Vermaas..One in Rotterdam port and one in the Northern Atlantic..
As you can see, the waterline is identical in both pictures..
Would they be?   If not, why..?
