It's of course real, I have seen it in Rotterdam a few month ago and the development team from VSTEP did a journey on her whilst under construction for the game. Yard? No idea, sorry!

Really? Ill bet you had to swing it with the authorities first! Though that would explain the great detail.

Her is the tug i was thinking of maybe its not so similar after all

[Sam]

That's a voith schneider tug.

And the rpa12 isn't a tug, it is a insident responce vessel.

[Dev]

well this ship has firefighting capabilities and is used for towing but i never heard anyone call it an incident response vessel, also i assumed that the rpa12 was a tug because of its description in game

Hello,
One can think RPA12 was built by Scheepswerf Damen? Perhaps couls VStep confirm or deny it.
A very good picture of the ship is http://www.vesseltracker.com/de/ShipPhotos/18875-Rpa12-I7325.html
You can indeed clearly see the Becker rudders (w/flaps) and the controllable pitch propellers.

RPA12 is a fireboat, vstep have some plans, mabye the boat you drive will burn, and you can take RPA12 to rescue the boat from the flames!

Now that would be cool.........or hot

I was looking at the photos above and I must say VSTEP got her bang on. She looks just like that in the game!!

Is anyone aware that Vstep might have modeled the RPA 16 if they  could've seen a photo of it.look!

[devomentor]

Yeah it is a real ship

Surprisingly the German publisher Astragon used the "RPA 16" on her CD cover...

hi all ,

the rpa 10/11/12/13/16 are all build by damen shipyard (www.damen.com)
10/11/12/13 are all sisterships
the 16 is also a sistership
the only difference is that the rpa 16 is a seagoing vessel

for your info the vessel are capable of delivering 30 m3 of water every minute

kind regard marco
