The ship docked in East Hook.

The S.S. Platypus is a cargo ship in Grand Theft Auto IV. Niko Bellic served as a crew-member for several months, along with Hossan Ramzy.

The Platypus is also included in the Bomb Da Base II mode of GTA IV's multiplayer. After stealing a Securicar loaded with explosives, a helicopter flies to the Platypus.

Two bombs must be planted on either the upper or lower levels of the ship while gunning down Albanians. The multiplayer team must then escape the ship before the explosion.
