Grand Princess called in Rotterdam today, leaving in the evening sunshine. Beautiful ship!

Wow... It's a shame I wasn't there to see it.

I wish that ship would come to the harbor where I live.

I saw an advert in a paper for that ship, she has a really weird shape for a cruise ship.

AriesDW · « **Reply #4 on:** June 21, 2007, 22:00:26 »

Wow. Incredible shots. I bet she is tough to get about in there. Where is the terminal she docks at? Near the Holland American docks?

Lets see more photos!

With a ship that size, the bow will be in holland america docks and the stern right up the coast.

All that money spent on a ship and they can't even make it look nice

I think she has a unique look, for sure.

Beauty, as I have said before, is in the eye of the beholder

The main design criterion for these ships is interior volume, so what do you expect?

Cheers,
Michael

Yes, well the main point of a car is to drive it down the road... So who is queuing up to by the latest TATA pick up?

I do take your point, but I really think the stern looks awful. I am in no doubt its like great city inside. No doubt at all.

Now you have to agree that this little tug is pretty funny looking, its so small

I agree i don't like the end of the ship either, its too flat, and its got that hughe observation thing at the top. KM

J3nsen · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2007, 02:18:28 »

Well, it may be funny tugs but they do heavy jobs.

I onse saw a few of these tugs pushing and towing a barge with a new containercrane for the port of antwerp.

I'll post some pictures when I find them.

J3nsen · « **Reply #20 on:** June 23, 2007, 12:11:36 »

Yeah, it's strong boat! But it look like if a littel wind come's, will it fall over

hehe or a Wave

Master Captain · « **Reply #21 on:** June 23, 2007, 15:10:30 »

yea, it looks like if a 10 foot wave came the tug would be swamped.

LucAtC · « **Reply #22 on:** June 23, 2007, 15:39:24 »

Details about this small tug to be found on this page:

The pdf Eerland 3.pdf , after downloading, had no .pdf attached.

Those boats are actually quite able! They are all engine and not top-heavy at all. But that said, 10-foot waves are not common in Rotterdam harbor.

@ Luc: When I clicked on the "download pdf" link I got a file called "eerland" with no extension, but it is a .pdf -- all you have to do is add the extension.

Michael

Hello Michael,
Nice tug, indeed and also with flanking rudder! Thanks for the pdf... .
Also, I like the design of the Kotug with 3 Schottel azimuthing propellers, of whom I dont attach a picture, to avoid angering sam simmer who doesnt like the magic beauty of the Kotug.
But I found an short presentation of the development; from this, I can infer that a mathematical model giving realistic results is not straightforward, to say the least.
http://www.rotortug.com/downloads/its_paper_2000.pdf
And they give a bollard pull of 75t with only 6400hp.

Regards,
Luc
