"The Pollux was built in 1963 at the well-known F.Schichau Shipyard in Bremenhaven, Germany, by commission of the German Hapag-Lloyd ship owning company. Hapag-Lloyd utilized the Pollux mainly as a coastal and harbour tug. After a successful career under the German flag, the tug was added to our gleet in September 1992. In early 1993 the Pollux was drastically modified by Scheepswerf Vooruit in Zaandam. Here, she was equipped with the latest navigation and communication systems and for doing salvage work at sea with special fire-fighting and salvage pumps, and diving personnel."
