Platypus

The S.S. Platypus is a cargo ship in Grand Theft Auto IV. Niko Bellic served as a crew-member for several months. It was involved in smuggling operations, including diamonds and sports cars. When Niko arrives in Liberty City, the ship is carrying immigrants from across Europe, including Spain, Germany, and Serbia.

The ship docked.

According to news reports later in the game, the captain and entire crew of the Platypus disappeared shortly after the ship docked and the passengers disembarked. One was found in the Humboldt River with whip scars on his back (the man who was engaging in S&M with a woman in the first scene). The ship remains docked in Broker throughout the game and is the setting for the mission A Dish Served Cold, which is the first mission of the Revenge ending of the storyline, suggesting Dimitri was going to steal it and escape America.

In the GTA IV Multiplayer Bomb Da Base II, the team must get the explosives by stealing the Securicar, driven by security guards. Right after stealing it, players must take it to the designated area where the Maverick is seen lading on the helipad. A lone Petrovic gang tells them that they will need a helicopter to fly to Playtypus ship and wishes them a good luck. Right after that, players arrive at the Platypus ship, and a heavy gun battle begins. Although this is similar to the Revenge mission, the Platypus ship is noiw under control of the Albanians. The team must plant 2 bombs either the upper or lower levlels of the ship, whist gunning down Albanians. After two bombs are planted, the team must escape the ship before the bombs detonate.
