The only bit I can add is:- Built in the Netherlands by "Pattje" at Waterhuizen as Yard Number 389.

Interesting that there is no fully enclosed Lifeboat sat on an inclined launching ramp Aft, just what appears to be an Outboard powered 'Jolly Boat' on the Starboard side along with possibly some inflatable raft Containers? the Dutch Merchant Marine Training Schools practice launching Lifeboats using the inclined ramp method. Although I do have to say the Dutch have been building some rather smart Coasters certainly for Arklow Shipping recently.

TARZAN at the Victoria Quay and eventually sailing.

I wonder if that is a Scrubber Unit alongside the Funnel instead of the normal Lifeboat launching Ramp which is usually fitted in that position on Coasters of this Type/Size?
The Electric Cable makers are certainly in the right business.
