Seen in Esbjerg, Denmark, no date.

6,858 grt, average speed 12.5 knots. length overall x breadth extreme: 137.17 x 19.51 metres

from Ship Nostaligia: This was one of 6 bulk ore carriers built for the Houlder Line: sister ships were Oredian, Orelia, Oremina, Oreosa and Orepton.

In 1974 she was converted to a diving support vessel for North Sea operations and renamed Coupler 1, reverting back to Oregis in 1976.
The conversion entailed the fitting of a heli-pad over the forecastle head capable of landing a Sikorsky S61N.A Moon Pool in place of No 3 hold, and a complete Saturation Diving Control unit and diving bell in place of No 4.

Heavy gear included a 100 ton Liebherr crane amidships, and six anchor winches, 3 forward & 3 aft, each with 1/2 mile of 56 mm cable and 10 ton Danforth anchor, being positioned on site by anchor handling boats.

That's 6 mph in imperial measurements. Wellington City has decided to reduce speed limits on 80% of inner-city streets to 30 km/h but Auckland has gone even further. It's not clear if those limits also apply to cyclists.
