Dutch Tugs 4

All these photos come through Fred Trooster.

Let’s start with the new build Noordstroom which wasn’t splashed until midMarch 2016.  Click here to see the triple-screw vessel at various stages of construction.

 

Catharina 7 on the other hand, is from 1958.  Here she passes the Bollard.

 

Here’s 1973 built Pacific Hickory.  I’m not sure what’s brought her to greater Rotterdam.

And we end today’s post with Osprey Fearless, 1997 built.
