Swedish submarine rescue ship HMS Belos in Øresund

This afternoon the Swedish Navy´s HMS Belos, a submarine rescue ship, was heading southwards from Helsingborg/Helsingør in Øresund. The pace was rather slow, which indicates that it was - fortunately - not on a real rescue mission.

The Belos (104,9 x 18,5 m) was built by the Dutch De Hoop shipyard in 1985 and was  aquired by the Swedish Navy in 1992.
