87 cm.....let's see, X+ X/y - 54Z squared :o 
Oh never mind !
Eighty seven Centimeters ( HO scale model ) is approximately 248 feet 4.0 inches, which, in HO scale, is a reasonably large vessel to "build a pier, and provide a place on the layout for".
My coastal freighter ( built from a Lindberg North Atlantic Trawler kit ) measures 125 feet ( about half the length ), and commands a large area of water ! ( it takes up a "fair chunk" of the scale five acres, in the new modules !! )
That is a good looking freighter !
The pier that ties up to, would make a great "ISL"

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
