Model kit of a 'Harbour Tug Boat'. These tug boats pull the largest freighters to their final docking position. Scale 1/108. 89 pieces. 23 cm long. For ages 10 and above.
When cargo vessels come into harbour having covered thousands of sea miles, they still have a difficult stretch ahead of them. This is where the harbour tug boats come into their own, take over command and tow these gigantic ships safely alongside the quay. The tug boats do not carry any cargo, but serve to tow large tankers and cargo vessels. These small, robust but very manoeuverable boats have very powerful engines developing from 250 to thousands of horsepower. The bridge is designed as a high superstructure to give them a good panoramic view, that will enable them to do their job properly and guarantee a safe passage through the confined space of the harbour. The bow, stern and side walls are usually reinforced and equipped with additional protective matting. - One-piece hull - Ram guard - Structurally detailed superstructure - Lifeboat - Two masts - Lifeboat and rubber dinghy - Captain and two seamen - Two display stands - Detailed decals
