An ocean tug built at the Ateliers et Chantiers de France in Dunkirk for the Société de Remorquage et de Sauvetage du Nord, the JEAN BART was christened on 25 February 1956. Powered by two 1,250 CV Werkspoor diesel engines, each on a single drive shaft, it was one of Europe's largest ocean-going tugs at the time. After being written off at Dunkirk in January 1965, she was sold in Holland in July of that year and renamed Utrecht. In 1977, she began a third life in Greece under the name Kriti. In 1993, she left for Honduras, where she was finally released from service.
