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 aboard the Platypus in Liberty City, the ship is carrying immigrants from across Europe, including Spain, Germany, Egypt, and Serbia.

The ship docked.

According to news reports, 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 - apparently the man who was engaging in sado-masochism with a woman as the ship was docking. The ship remains docked in Broker throughout the game and, if Niko chooses to exact his revenge on Dimitri Rascalov, is the setting for A Dish Served Cold, suggesting Dimitri intended to steal it and escape America.

In the GTA IV Multiplayer Bomb Da Base II, after stealing a Securicar loaded with explosives, a helicopter flies to the Platypus. Arriving at the Platypus, a heavy gun battle begins. This is similar to the Revenge mission, however the Platypus ship is now under control of the Albanians. 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.
