1987 Nisshin Maru Whaler Factory Ship

Description
Launched in 1987, the MV Nisshin Maru is the only whaler factory ship in existence and centerpiece of the Japanese whaling fleet.

Embarking on yearly voyages to Antarctic waters, Nisshin Maru has been the target of various maritime conservationist groups - namely Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd for many years.

This blueprint is released as a scaled down, low cost unarmed vessel intended for 'arm it yourself' campaign and 'research' use.

An armed variant will be constructed separately in order to participate in the Neter World Tour challenge on the FtD forums.

The armed prospector version with heavier armor, basic weapons and deeper draft, is located here:

@Rebel, thanks for the link. I may contribute a few more merchant type ships. They are quick to build.

I reckon if you outfit the nishin maru with loads of harpoons and hit it with a shark invasion then ... I don't know but it'd be fun

Sure! Go right ahead. You might want to use the armed version (link in the description), it has higher freeboard and a rudimentary anti-roll control system making it more practical.
