The tugboat \"Borby\" Y1687, 12 metres long and 4 metres wide with a draught of 1.90 metres, displaces 25 tonnes. She was built by Hans Boost Maschinen- und Stahlbau GmbH in Trier. This shipyard has been in existence since 1920 and built ferries, motorboats and dredging machines. Today, the small company on the Moselle specialises in the construction and repair of vessels for commercial shipping and the public sector. Another example that the German Navy is not only relevant on the coast.<\/p>\n<p>And where does the name \"Dergl\" actually come from? Allegedly, this is an abbreviation taken from old fleet lists for vehicles at the end of the list that were not listed further by name or type, e.g. \"barges and the like.\" The abbreviation of this phrase \"u. dergl.\" then became the noun dergl. allegedly in the colloquial language of the navy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"werbebox\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die kleinsten Einheiten im Dienste der Marine Ihr wisst es: Die Redaktion hat ein Herz f\u00fcr Dergls.
