VTOL slider controls the propeller pitch. Up=reverse down=forward. 1/2 up/down for best effect.
Trim slider to control rudder.

What is the worst that could happen anyway? Running aground and causing a giant oil spill? At worst, its just going to dump 3 million barrels or so of oil into the sea.

Name: Union valdez,
Country: Not the Soviet Union. Or Cuba, for that matter.
Maximum draft: 25 meters
Turn time: Yes
Turning circle: Maybe
When turning, try not to do it while close to land since it drifts a little.

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 3.9 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 124.5 %
Waterplane Area: 302,095 Square feet or 28,066 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 725 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 1,341 lbs/sq ft or 6,549 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 5.21
- Longitudinal: 3.17
- Overall: 3.59
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather
