Graupner,WP SEABEX-ONEBeschlag N,2156

WP SEABEX-ONEBeschlag N Graupner 2156 The diver support ship SEABEX ONE has been designed for a multitude of North Sea operational tasks by the Nobiskrug GmbH shipyard of Rendsburg / Federal Republic of Germany: deep sea operations, underwater welding, submarine construction work, fire-flghting, rescue and evacuation tasks in emergencies (max. capacity 500 persons), hydrographic survey work, helicopter landings, general oceanography and harvesting of submarine resources. In order to enable the ship to fully perform its various duties it has been equipped with an optimized propulsion
system comprised of two stern-mounted rudder/propel-ler SPPS units of 1620 kW each which provide forward thrust, act as rudders and
ensure precision position holding, plus two bow-mounted SPPS units of 1100 kW each.
The rudder-propeller units, each powered by a DC electric motor, are rotatable through 360°
SEABEX ONE is equipped with a diving system consisting of seven chambers; one of them serves as entry to the diving bell. The latter accommodates up to three divers and is capable of operations at depths of up to 450 meters. It is closed at the side and lowered via the "moon-pool". A diver rescue chamber is stationed on the main deck. Ten TV monitors and nine cameras are used to supervise the diving system. A goal-post structure, permanently erected at the transom, permits handling heavy weights. Four fire monitors are also installed atop that structure for fire-flghting operations. At the left side (port) an electronic-hydraulical offshore crane has been provided. A heli-platform on the foreship ensures fast and problemfree exchange of crew members, as well as emergency evacuation. The model of SEABEX ONE has been engineered from original blueprints supplied by the Nobiskrug shipyard. It offers to the modeller a broad palette of interesting special functions, a palette which may be still further enlarged, if desired. Thanks to its SPPS thrusters (which can be rotated up to 90°) the vessel can turn "on a dime" and translate sideways. Its offshore crane is a fully working unit. Water for the four fire-fighting monitors is delivered by one or two gear-type pump(s). Main rotor and tail rotor of the ship-borne helicopter are driven by an electric motor. The R/C installation plan supplied refers to the installation of proportional R/Cequipment All difficult-to-fashion parts, such as hull stern goal post, funnels, crane pillar, helicopter etc. are furnished in the kit as extrusions. A large number of miscellaneous plastic parts supplied in the set of fittings No. 426 for dressing up the model also shorten the building time.
