Just for inspection the RPA 11 comes every day in the Beatrixhaven where i work. Today i make some pichurs of it specialy for you guys on the forum. They were helping to catch a little seal that was in or port today

But when they try to get closer with a rubberboat the seal was going in the water and he was gone ^^

RPA 11. Pichurs are made by my phone Nokia N73 so they are not so good

But closer then this can not. I see the P6 or other police boat sometimes i try to make a photo of that boat to.

Pics made on the World Harbour Days 2007 (or was it 2006... $:-\$ )

I love the way that even the Port Authorities boats look like tugs. Holland seems to be my spiritual home in a tug-sense.

Nearly forgot, great pictures!

Wow. If those were hooked up to the ships pumps, They couls stop their ship from sinking, and put out a fire at the same time! (Now thats cool)

It's a hydrografic survey vessel.

Ballast · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2008, 20:31:18 »

I knew it already, so i'd know what to search for. There was a article about it in the maritime newspaper when she got deliverd last year.

I found this Dutch story on the Port of Rotterdam website:

http://www.portofrotterdam.com/nl/nieuws/persberichten/2007/05042007.jsp

It's a Dutch story about the low emission engines that is required for new ships and which are fitted in the Surveyor 1 and 2. There is one sentence that can confirm they are hydrografic survey vessels. I'll translate it from the article:

"Shipyard Made and shipyard Grave are building 2 hydrografic survey vessels and one oil spill response vessel the 'OSR 31'. The 'Surveyor 1 and 2' can gather information from a large area at once."

Rest of the story is about low sulpher fuel and low emission engines.

Maby we can make a Photo topic of real boats?

Minime · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2008, 21:45:30 »

we actually have a photo topic like that, somewhere on the forum I believe, try search for it, there are many real photos like the ones in SS08

You are really that stupid right? Notice the name, notice they are identical. IT IS A SISTER SHIP not like it.

I don't know how many Rotterdam Police boats there are, but they're all pretty much identical, as Austin said...

Question for VSTEP: Why the P6...why not P4 or 5

matt5674 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 02, 2008, 02:27:50 »

look austin i only know the P4 P5 and P6 and i don't know the rest of the ships but their names are P1 to whatever the last one is but i don't know what they look like
