Built 1970 by Nederland Dok and Schips, Amsterdam, Holland. As the vessel was too large for the shipyard and locks, she was built in two sections and then joined together while a?oat. Although this has been done many times since, at the time it was considered to be very innovative and generated a lot of interest throughout the marine industry....
