The '''MV ''Solo''''' was a [[Greenpeace]] ship from 1990 to 1995, originally built in 1977 as an ocean tug called the ''Smit Houston''. Greenpeace updated the ship with a helipad as well as veterinary and laboratory facilities. In 1995 she was chartered by a company working with the [[Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management]] for use as a salvage vessel. At this time the ship was renamed as the ETV ''Waker''. On 7 September 2009, a fire starting in the engine room so seriously damaged the vessel that she was scrapped.<ref>[http://archive.greenpeace.org/marine/oldships.html] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100303024507/http://archive.greenpeace.org/marine/oldships.html |date=3 March 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fire-rescue.nl/mswaker/Engels/E-History.htm |title=Kustwacht ETV |publisher=Fire-rescue.nl |date= |accessdate=2014-02-07}}</ref>
