HNLMS Orkaan (A837) was a tugboat of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN).[1] She served in the RNN between 1949 and 1961.[2] It was at the time the largest tugboat to be built in the Netherlands for the RNN.[3]

Design and construction

Orkaan was laid down in 1948 and launched on 27 January 1949 at the shipyard of Gebr. Fikkers in Martenshoek, Groningen.[2][4] She was commissioned into the Royal Netherlands Navy on 7 November 1949.[2]

The boat was equipped with a 1200 horse power MAN diesel engine.[5] This made it possible to reach a speed of up to 12 knots.[6]

Service history

Besides acting as tugboat the Orkaan could also be used as salvage ship when necessary and was equipped with firefighting equipment.[1][7]

In 1954 Orkaan helped tow the light ship Terschellingerbank to Rotterdam after it collided with a ship.[8]

In 1961 Orkaan was sold.[9][10]
