AHT Lewek Kea
The original
The "Lewek Kea" and her sister ship "Lewek Kestrel" are typical examples for modern anchor handling tugs. Operated by EMAS Offshore Limited, they are used for a variety of tasks, such as anchor handling, towage, safety services, seismic exploration and emergency services. Both vessels are therefore equipped with a variety of winches and emergency equipment.
This kind of vessel is a common representative of the most important workhorse of the offshore industry around the world. Only in recent years, more modern designs (like the axe bow) have taken place.

Information on the original:
The model
The Model is designed in 1:200 scale. It can be built as a model for static display or as a working RC boat. It is set up to enable radio control functions (RC), with the twin shaft propulsion in kort nozzles, the rudders and the bow thruster fully functional. As the model is rather small, the model can only be used in quiet water conditions. Additionally, the radar and lights can be set up to work, and other functions can be made to work by a skilled modeler, too. However, this model is not set up to be ready to run, it requires refinement and is only suitable for skilled model builders.
