The PARAT harbor tug was built in 1983 and delivered in the same
year to the Hamburg-based Luetgens & Reimers shipping company. The ship
is equipped with 2 VOITH-SCHNEIDER propellers, powered by 2 x 6-cylinder e 4T
K.H. Deutz diesel engines each rated at 2460 BHP, giving the vessel a tensile
power of 32.2 tons. The tug also features a comprehensive fire-fighting
system for use in the lower Elbe region. Our model of the PARAT has been
developed with the help and support of the D. Hegemann Roland dockyard, who
kindly supplied actual design office drawings. As with the full-size vessel
the model is powered by 2 VOITH-SCHNEIDER
propellers, although it is possible to replace the VOITH-SCHNEIDER units with
two Schottel I drive units at the builders discretion. The pair of
VOITH-SCHNEIDER drive systems makes the tug extremely agile, as it is capable
of maneuvering in any direction. Installing an optional “tug” sound module
allows the realistic reproduction of characteristic operating sounds such as
diesel engines, foghorn, horn and winch noise. Additional working systems can
also be installed, including rotating fire monitors, and extending the upper
fire monitor to a height of 30 cm. Parts which are difficult to make, such as
the hull, deck, bulwark, superstructure and bridge, are supplied highly
pre-fabricated. The kit includes injection-molded parts which ease assembly
and shorten the building time, and the fittings set includes a further range
of useful components. The boat is not intended for the beginner, as
construction demands a certain level of technical expertise and manual skill.
Quick-build plans and building instructions in German, English and French.
Vacuum-molded and CNC machined hull, deck, bulwark, super-structure, bridge
and other parts molded in ABS. Printed and die-cut wooden parts for internal
fittings, strip material, wire and rod, tubing; decal sheet.
