Amsterdam Tug at Southport MBC Video 16 March 2025
AMSTERDAM TUG
The Amsterdam tugboat was built at the Johan Alkers Shipyard in Hamburg, Germany in 1971. It was specially built to handle and serve very large ships and super tankers of this modern age. Three other sister-ships where built, called Malabar, Tenace and Centour, and these are serving at this moment with the French navy.

Amsterdam
My Amsterdam is done from an old Latina kit. it has the board on frame hull construction of the older kits. I've done some modifications from the kit such as, larger bridle winch, bridle assemblies, extra aft deck detail, lowered engine room cover, brass lifting boom, recessed anchor pockets, enlarged rudder and various miscelaneous detail changes.

Amsterdam Built In 2004 by Peter
The black Amsterdam is mine, built in 2004 from the Artesania Latina kit. it is powered by a 545 motor through a pulley reduction drive, and the battery is a 6v, 10ah SLA.
The kit prop was replaced by a brass one. The yellow model belongs to Peter Barlow, a member of our club, and was built several years before mine. it is also an Artesania kit.
Our club, the Ballina RSL Club Marine Modellers, sail in a tidal salt water lake in Ballina, which is on the far north coast of NSW, Australia.

- benidormbobAble SeamanHi, I have just acquired one of these tug boats. it is in need of some restoration. Do you know of any where I can get a copy of plans for this model please. I have been in touch with the manufactures and they basically said they have nothing for this Amsterdam model so it looks like it is going to be a job and half to restore it but it will be done.Hi, I have just acquired one of these tug boats. it is in need of some restoration.

Amsterdam built by Richard Romanus
The name of the boat is Amsterdam. This was a Artesania Latina kit built by me in the winter of 2005/2006.
Its powered by a car heater blower motor. I hope to sail for the first time, when I come up to Beale Park later this year.

Could I ask what scale size figures you have on yours please and where did you purchase them from. Regards BobHi, I have just acquired one of these tug boats. it is in need of some restoration.
