Revell 05238 Hermann Marwede Search and Rescue Vessel

Hermann Marwede is a modern German sea rescue vessel. The launch of the vessel took place in 2003, and it entered service shortly after. The total length of the ship is 46 meters and a width of 10.7 meters. The propulsion is provided by three diesel engines with a total power of 9250 hp, which allow a top speed of 25 knots. Hermann Marwede was made by the German shipyard Fassmer Werft, and one of the subcontractors was the Polish company Aluship Gdańsk, which made the hull of the vessel. Hermann Marwede was made for the German Maritime Rescue Society (German abbreviation: DGzRS), and his name honored the long-standing donor of this organization. The unit is characterized by very modern equipment and a high degree of automation, which allowed to significantly reduce the crew. Hermann Marwede is widely regarded as one of the largest ships in its class in the world.
