Hi everyone, look what i found on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEiSwPztUeI&feature=user

Looks like they were modelling this interesting vessel for SS2008, but left her out  :'(
I wonder why? It would be great having a ship used for transporting other ships/rigs

Maybe it was left out because it is one of those that submerges, so stuff can float on, so maybe it was to hard to do or something :(

Safety? Yeah they are probably safe but there have been some accidents with this kind of life boats (caused by lack of maintenance and such stuff) :)

Maybe we can sail it in SS20009 ;D

I've just seen her, she is in my port (Port of Tyne) and carring a Russian Ice Breaker and she is a beauty.
I would like to see her in the game someday.  ;D

Except passenger and RoRo or RoPax vessels all modern cargoes could have free fall rescue boats, from a small feeder up to the largest container vessels (except our VERMAAS  ;)).
