About Steenbank
The Steenbank is a harbor tug built in 1960 by Shipyards v/h H.H. Bodewes N.V., Millingen aan de Rijn. With an installed power of 1250 HP, the tugboat was designed for service in the Europoort at the time. Since 2016, the tugboat has been part of the collection of the Sleepboothaven Maassluis Foundation.
History
The tug came into service as Steenbank for L. Smit & Co's Internationale Sleepdienst Maatschappij N.V., Rotterdam; from 1961 for Nieuwe Rotterdamse Sleepdienst N.V., Rotterdam. Due to the increase in scale in shipping from the 1960s onwards, larger and stronger tugboats were needed. Together with sister ship Schouwenbank, the ships were an addition to the fleet of smaller harbor tugs that mainly operated in the Rotterdam city ports.
In 1972 the tugboat was renamed Astroloog, for owner Smit Internationale Havensleepdiensten B.V., Rotterdam.
In 1980 the ship was sold to the Royal Belgian Navy and renamed Valcke A950. The ship was mainly deployed in the Zeebrugge Naval Port. The ship took part in the rescue operation following the capsizing of the Herald of Free Enterprise in 1987. In recent years in Belgian service, parts of the tug Ekster were used to keep the sister ship Valcke in service.
On March 4, 2016, the Valcke left Zeebrugge for the last time, after it was sold to shipyard Treffers in Haarlem.
Back in Maassluis
Through the mediation of the Maassluis Maritime Heritage Foundation, the former Europoort tug was saved from the demolition hammer in 2016 and returned to Maassluis from Haarlem. The ship has been restored in the corporate style of the New Rotterdam Sleeping Service, and was given her original name Steenbank back.
