The Royal Danish Navy's pollution control vessel Gunnar Thorson in Øresund

In Denmark the Ministry of Defense, and under it the Admiral Danish Fleet (Royal Danish Navy), is the contingency organization for combating pollution of the sea caused by oil and other harmful substances. Gunnar Thorson - here seen going northwards in Øresund this afternoon - is one of the Danish Navy's two Gunnar Thorson class pollution control  vessels. The 56 m x 12.3 m ship, which entered service in 1981, is based in Frederikshavn.

a complement of 16.
