Built Originally in 1964, NEW REFIT 2005!!! This amazing boat is ready to be converted into anything. She is a perfect foundation to be fitted out as a Research Ship, Fishing boat, Dive boat, Charter Vessel or Personal Luxury Yacht. She'd been beautifully rebuilt and is ready to go! Call me today to see her! OriginallyBuilt to Lloyds + 100A1She is a converted Ice Class ex push pull twin screw tug, originally built to Lloyds +A1class for ESSO, working the Norwegian coast line.. This tug was owned by Esso Norway. In view of her strong construction and deep sea going qualities she is capable of serving a variable market outside the scope and potential of the average private yacht. The growing requirement and desire by certain clients to enjoy the safety and comfort of such a vessel makes her unique in the field of luxury marine transport. Ideal for adventure and discovery exploration and research voyages, as well the traditional luxury market can be catered for .She has undergone a substantial rebuild with modifications done and is now suitable for a owner to put an interior tailored to there own requirementsContact Listing Broker Jared Office Cell Email Sails and Rigging:, She was built in Norway to Lloyd s Class +100A1 and launched 1964 for Esso in Norway. The building specification document will give more in depth history to her early days. Formally launched and named Esso Oslo, she worked the Norwegian Fiords pushing three large fuel barges. Her comprehensive gear included aft towing hook and winches, steam boiler, and unusually vast accommodation for long trips. Three ballast tanks served internal machinery cooling in icy conditions. Her fuel capacity of 20.000 litres and fresh water capacity of 20.000 litres together with 80.000 litres of seawater ballast fwd and aft, gives Baltic a formidable amount of liquid ballast and stability.Her original manning requirements for up to 14 crew were all comfortably housed in main deck or lower crew accommodation. Substantial insulation (rock wool or similar) and pine wood cladding ensured that the vessel stayed warm and comfortable. Most of this still exists today in good condition. A small amount of asbestos from the engine room was removed and she is free of such products. She was dry-docked in 2002. Hull inspection proved that no plating needed changing, a relatively clean bill of health was given. The shafts were withdrawn and all six rudders. (Yes Six Rudders) removed. Two big main rudders serve aft of the props. Four smaller flank rudders were positioned forward of the props. In the wheelhouse American Mississippi type steering bars replaced the traditional wheel. This arrangement enabled the helmsman to steer, and or cross rudder directions, in order to turn rapidly. The system was removed and replaced by traditional wheel.The four-flank rudders were removed, being unnecessary for current needs. All prop shaft, rudder bearings and oil bath seals were replaced, and repairs to the rudder shafts were undertaken.She was later towed across to Northern France where she was loaded onto a dock ship and transported to Toulon Southern France. She was then towed to a shipyard facility and is laid up ashore since 2005. The refit program continues.,
