CHASER Entering Anchorage Bay - a photo on Flickriver

            ► █░▓    THEY SAY THE E-M1 original has a lousy video. Maybe, but here it has captured some remarkable manoeuvring skills of this Dutch crew entering Vluchthaven anchorage in Arkelstad, with a kind of ship not often seen in other parts of the world. Chaser is a specialized tanker ship built nearby at home in 2023. Being so young, no wonder we see her here in her original configuration. She is 110 m long, 11,5 m wide, has Caterpillar 2 x 680 pk type C 18 Acert electronic propulsion, with 535 pk Electromotor - Verhaar Omega-Jet head screw. 
A young couple topped this clip off for me with their sweet photobombing :)

Just look at how the crew members move. If there's anything I admire Dutch at, it is their natural, "broken in", smooth, relaxed but deft aptitude when on water, whatever the vessel. Or is it only my projection of some historical awareness?
