Pictured arriving at Ijmuiden on 02/09/2010 shortly after her charter commenced, on 25/06/2010, to the Dutch Coastguard.
After the disasterous fire on her predeceesor, the "Waker", prematurely finished her career off, a replacement ETV (Emergency Towing Vessel) was quickly required.
The Italian owned vessel was brand new and I suspect her owners were delighted to get this lucrative contract.
