Never forget to close all corkscrews on those cylinder heads if you don't want your engines sounding like ww2 mortars lol "personal experiences"

Is this a former Dutch tugboat from Smit Harbour Rotterdam?

[@JiiHoo85]

Yes! Old name is ”SMIT DENEMARKEN” Tug IMO: 7800485

My father was a captain at Smit Harbour. The Smit Denemarken has 8 sisters of this type with a output from 1800 to 2400 hp. The tugs were called 1800 tugs at that time.
