If something is broken or missplaced etc. add a comment and list of the broken things.
History (Fictional):
A vessel ordered by the newly founded OV – Line and named M/S Nordic Queen.
Her keel was laid down at the start of 1970 and launched at the end of 1970, her fitting out started right after the launching and the vessel was ready for her seatrials in the middle of 1971.
After performing as expected in her seatrials M/S Nordic Queen was put to service on the Terminal Camodo – Fj Warner Docks.
Nordic Queen was a very modern ferry for her time, having a modern radar and map displays as well having new gyro fin stabilizers.
Her interior was designed to be as comfortable as possible, having 24 cabins and a small sitting lounge, for those that wanted to enjoy something to eat there were two options, a restaurant in the bow and a cafe located at midships.
She also had a small bar with beautiful views of the open ocean at the bow and it was a perfect space for those who wanted to enjoy small drinks with live piano music.
For those wanting relax there was a small sauna onboard. At the same deck there also was a small barber shop.
She operated the route of Terminal Camodo – Fj Warner Docks for over a decade without suffering a single major accident.
M/S Nordic Queen was sold to AML Shipping in 1984 after a few years of sitting at the port of Fj Warner.
She suffered a engine fire in 1987 after faulty cooling pumps shut down, the engine fire was quickly controlled and the fires were extinguished after a few hours.
In 1989 M/S Nordic Queen sunk in waves of the coast of Arid Mainland, it was found that the bow of the ship was leaking and the likely cause of the sinking was that the water took over the sauna area after making its way to the car deck.

Not as bad as expected, you can get away with using high physics setting but if trying to load cars onboard lower physics setting are recommended.
Coffee Machine:
Inspired by NeatNaut’s Dynamic Damage System [DDS]
The coffee machine is located at the bridge of the vessel.
The default number is set to "0" and this means that no random failures are going to happen, setting the coffee machine to "1" will start the Automatic Damage System, the system will count down from 25000 and will speed up the countdown with more wind, fog and rain.
To fix the failures there are buttons for them on each of the location.
"Fix Bow Leak" can be found at the sauna area, "Fix Middle- and Fix Stern Leak" can be found next to the hatches that cause the leak.
To fix engine cooling, make your way to the engine control room and press "Fix Cooling".
There is no way to fix the battery after a blackout, you need to activate the emergency power.
Starting Up:
To start up the ship you need to make your way to the bridge, after you have made your way to the bridge go to the helm and look to your left.
There should be switches to start up the vessel, using the throttle you can speed up the engine.
