Title: Arie Visser
Post by: Minime on August 08, 2008, 15:20:23

Is it true that the Arie Visser can carry up to 120 passanger?
The Arie Visser class is a highly versatile rescue boat. The boat weights 28 tonnes and is powered by two 1000 HP (735kW) engines giving it a maximum speed of 35 knots. With fuel tanks containing 6100 liters, it can sail for 16 hours straight at full throttle. The ship has a crew of 6 and can carry up to 120 people.

It suprised me too. Although boats look small if you put the Visser of Marbella Delight next to a family car, they are huge. It also seems inpossible that the Red Eagle can carry 800+ Passengers, but, you can't argue with facts!

And yes, i think it is true that it can carry 120 people.

But it is only 18,80m long.

It still has deck space, and i think it may have space under the wheelhouse, like a kind of deck. Not sure though.

I think the capacity is based on net displacement rather than on comfort.
It would be cozy, but an acceptable alternative to drowning.

Their must be a hatch into the bilge space, and I'm sure the engines could use come company. :D

Un-very-believable it is, i found a nice picture of the vessel itself and it looks as impressive as VSTEP's model except not as good  :D, and some nice info to read up on and some close and beautifull pics of the vessel itself.

I'm not sure about the 1st and 2nd one, but they aren't the Arie Visser itself, they are members of the Arie Visser class  ;)
