SeapixOnline- Miscellaneous Vessels - 1 of 1 ESPERANZA (1984/2076grt/IMO 8404599, ex-ECO FIGHTER, ECHO FIGHTER, VIKHR-4) is the largest and newest addition to the Greenpeace fleet. The ice-class ship was built in Poland for the Russian government as the fourth of 14 fire-fighting vessels, the now Dutch-flagged vessel was laid up in the late 1980's before working as a supply ship in Norway. ESPERANZA joined the Greenpeace fleet in 2002. She is seen here at anchor in Auckland, New Zealand after another season of pursuing the Japanese whale hunters in the Southern Ocean.
