Features

The ETV Waker is an Emergency Towing Vessel assigned to the Netherlands Coast Guard to assist ships in trouble in the sector north of the English Channel. Waker (Dutch for 'Watchman') has a rather unique history that brought this ship to her current duties.

Built as the Smit Houston in 1977, this 16,000 horsepower vessel was designed as an ocean-going tug boat that supported the North Sea oil industry. As the demand for oil dropped off at the end of the 1980s, Greenpeace was looking for a suitable ship to operate in the North Sea. A deal was struck between Greenpeace and the owners of Smit Houston and the vessel was renamed 'Solo'.

Solo served Greenpeace for about five years and had been fitted with a helipad above the foredeck to support helicopters weighing 4 tons or less. About three years into the Solo's service with Greenpeace, the tanker Brear wrecked on the Shetland Islands resulting in a huge oil spill. The fallout of this disaster resulted in new design standards for tankers, new tracking standards for international shipping, and the realization by the Netherlands Coast Guard that they had no ability to respond to a tanker in distress in time to avert a similar disaster.

In 1995, arrangements were made with Greenpeace to transfer Solo to the Netherlands Coast Guard, and today she serves to protect the transiting traffic through the Channel and North Sea as the ETV Waker.

Note: Assembly required. Paint/glue not included.
