New ship: Nordic Heron

This Simutrans ship is based in the real Nordic Heron, a petrol tanker built for Nordic Tankships A/S in 1959. She was renamed & reflagged in 1970 as the «Hariclia Venizelos», with greek flag. She was sold and broken up at Kaohsiung in 1977.

The real specifications for this ship are (taken from marirers-l.co.uk):
  • Length: 202 m
  • Beam (~"width"): 25 m
  • Draught (~"height"): 11 m
  • Cargo capacity: N/A
  • Max. speed: 16 knots (~30 Km/h)

This ship has been coded into Simutrans as a modern petrol tanker, which has to fill the timeline gap after 1959, but it might be modified to cover a shorter or different sting.
