MS Koningsdam is a Pinnacle-class cruise ship operated by Holland America Line (HAL), a division of Carnival Corporation & plc. Koningsdam is the lead vessel of HAL's Pinnacle class, which includes Nieuw Statendam (2018) and the Rotterdam (2021), all of which were built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri. Two years after the first steel was cut in February 2014 to commence construction, she was delivered to HAL in March 2016 and began operating the following month. At 99,863 GT, she became the largest ship ever commissioned for HAL upon her delivery.
Koningsdam features a total of 1,331 passenger cabins across 12 decks and 588 crew cabins for a maximum capacity of 4,173 passengers and crew. Of the total amount of cabins, 78.4% have an outside view, and 68.5% have a balcony. She has a length of 299.65 metres (983.1 ft), a draft of 7.95 metres (26.1 ft), and a beam of 35 metres (115 ft). She is powered by a diesel-electric genset system, with four MaK engines, each producing 12.6 MW (16,900 hp) to produce a total output of 50.4 megawatts (67,600 hp). Main propulsion is via two ABB Azipods, each driven by a 14 megawatts (19,000 hp) electric motor. The system gives the vessel a service speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) and a maximum speed of 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph). Koningsdam was designed to operate at an optimal service speed, with an extended hull and modified bulbous bow to improve the ship's efficiency and glide and reduce resistance. The ship is powered by heavy fuel oil and marine gas oil and equipped with scrubbers from Ecospray Technologies. Enhancements, such as fan coil units being used to maintain temperatures in public spaces instead of centralized air conditioning, has allowed the ship to use 20% less power than Nieuw Amsterdam, despite carrying 20% more passengers. In addition, there are 16 150-person lifeboats and six tender boats, all provided by Hatecke. All infrastructure and IT systems are provided by Lufthansa Systems. Source: Wikipedia
MS Jutlandia.
MS Jutlandia was contracted by and built for the East Asiatic Company (EAC) in 1934, as a combined passenger and cargo ship at EAC's Nakskov Shipyard, Denmark. Following an extended operational life in which she also served as a hospital ship and a royal yacht, she was finally decommissioned in 1965.

About the model!
Finally I've finished my latest and biggest model so far, the legendary hospital ship MS Jutlandia.
The model is built with techniques similar to Valkyrien and Dannebrog using Backward Matt`s tutorial in Smooth Ship Hull Shaping Technique. The model is also build to fit my other ship models in 1:200 scale.
It was impossible to find any drawings of this ship on the web, so my model is based on photos of the ship and other data found through Google. Another very important source was Konajra's brilliant minifig model of the same ship.
On most of the other models found on the internet the hull is painted green below the waterline, but I found some photos showing a dark-red waterline, suggesting that it may at some point have had the normal dark red seen on many other ships. It solved a problem regarding parts for the hull, because the slope 18 4x1 (60477) is not available in green, and 36 of these are used mainly at the front of the hull, but also at the rear.
The masts and crane booms are a vital part of the look of the ship, and I did order quite a lot of rigid hoses for the masts but they turned out quite poor because none of them are completely straigth. So instead of these I have used 3,2 mm polystyrene pipes, exactly the same size as rigid hose, but with much better properties. The Technic 1/2 pins used on the masts and the bar bolders used for the crane booms doesn't exist in yellow so all of these parts have been spray painted, a few other pices are also painted, see if you can find them!
Some specification of the model:
Length: 85,8 studs (686mm)
Width: 12,7 studs (101mm)
Height: 38,5 studs (308mm) (on stand)
Parts in total: 3400 , MS Jutlandia: 3158 , base 242.
As always comments and critics are more than welcome!
