Dear Trader,

Thank you alot for commenting, I sailed them and would very much care for the pictures. It's nice to see how you understand the importance of these tugs in Dutch shipping history.

Please do post the pics of the demolition, perhaps even the process.

Could very well be, it's just not certain for as far as I learned here. I know nothing of these systems as they were not yet there when I sailed these ships. But she will eventually be beached one day.

Not really, all hope has gone. It's a matter of time, noone cares for these tugs but a few Dutch and some tug enthousiasts. It's just a matter of time. I don't know if she's still in Karachi, she could very well be scrapped allready with tracking not knowing of it.
