Xtian has been sharing photos here for some time. Now it turns out he and I were in the tiny dorp of Maassluis within days of each other earlier this month, as evidenced by his photo of Furie, which was in the same spot the day I visited here (and scroll).
I would never have guessed RPA 14 is 31 years old! Xtian certainly caught the light right here.
Smit Ebro has been on this blog before, as in this post.
Equipment on Husky?Make your guesses and on Monday or so, I’ll explain.
Smit Cheetah and SD Seal . . . doing fire equipment training?
FairPlay 21 … in between Smit Panther
and FairPlay 24 with still more Smit tugs in the foreground.
Here’s part of the Kotug fleet. From left, it’s unidentified, RT Evolution, SD Rebel, and RT Adiaan. Click on each of the three links previous to see how different those three tugs are.
Smit Hudson has been around since 2008.

Many thanks to Xtian for these photos.

Looks like a propwash diverter for what we used to call “midnight dredging” back in the bad-old-days…built one for our 6′ diameter wheel out of a big sheet of plate we then rolled into a 6′ tube, cut twice at a 45 angle, rotated the slices and welded them back together into a BIG elbow that hung right over the prop and directed the wash downwards. It would lift the stern of the 140′ ship up quite a bit when engaged.
