About re-skinning, you can't do that, but it is a possible option in the future.

Post by: NathanC on July 23, 2008, 19:02:52: Me too, it was docked in Hull as we were leaving - can anyone tell me why the bow is high up like that?
Title: Re: naming ships
Post by: The Captain on July 23, 2008, 19:13:43: Well ::):
1- it is in low water.
2-it's supposed to be like that
3- since all the oil has been taken out, the ship is more boyant so it rises up.

Those are all the things I can think of.

Hi Nathan,

Believe the tanker is "Light" (directly translated from Danish... :o) meaning it's unloaded, and reason the whole vessel (particular the stern) is not lifted to same level is becourse they have ballasted it with water to keep the rudder and propeller in water to maintain steering and thrust. Not that I'm a expert, but that is what we do on our little hopper dredger... :o)
