MS Vulcanus was a motor-powered tanker constructed by the Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij,[1] which was the first Dutch motor ship.[citation needed] Because of the hazardous liquids the ship would carry, a motor engine was chosen due to concerns about sparks from a steam engine posing a fire risk.
Comparing tankers that were fitted with a steam engine against the Vulcanus, it showed that the Vulcanus only consumed an estimate of 2 tons of oil, while other tankers consumed around 11 tons of coal.[citation needed]
History
Sometime in 1911, the Vulcanus became beached during low tide at the Goodwin Sands. A portion of the gasoline cargo was pumped out of the ship, which then allowed the ship to be refloated.[citation needed]
