Dave, thank you very much for this vivid description and the great compliment. But you don't need to worry, thanks to myself I hardly ever succumb to delusions of grandeur:-))

This kind of reminds me of sitting in a wrap-around movie theater with a large herd of buffalo charging towards me at full speed.
Simply splendid Jens - all these comments are going to inflate your ego to the point where you will no longer associate with mere mortals like us.

@ Jens
there are few different signals and it might be rather confusing not only to "not sailors"
Not under command rule 27

A) at sea Interntional colreg
day signal:two black balls
nght: two red lights

B) Inland
day signal:same
night: two red lights plus the green and red side lights and the stern light but not the top lights

For constrained by their draft rule 28
day: a cylinder
night: three red lights with all running lights on

As for they coming in with the tide has nothing to do with restriction as per COLREGs . The ports setting the limits. Once they are over that they have to display the signal accordingly. The Elbe I do not know
but the Schelde has 10m. So they might well be ok to
go in but nevertheless restricted

Malim, thanks for the explanation:-)

Jens,
Constrained by draught is a black cylinder with minimum size 0.6m diameter and 1.2m length. It's the shape normally flown by large ships in confined waters although.
I do appreciate Hamburg may well view these ships as restricted hence the RIAM shapes. Personally I haven't been up the Elbe in any ship bigger than 190 metres in length so I never saw them in use.

Edit
comment

person
Malim, I know the shapes for "Restricted in ability to man oeuvre" as all vessels of that size sailing up or down the Elbe show them - but that's all I know. Is there another sign for "constrained by draught"?

On the other hand they're sailing into Hamburg with the high tide so draught isn't a problem, or is it?

Edit
comment

person
Interesting to see she is flying "Restricted in ability to manoeuvre" shapes, constrained by draught would surely be more appropriate.

Hehe, Tomas... wait until next summer then Hamburg is supposed to see the real big ones. Thank you for your compliment:-)

Hm, I think P.P. Rubens would be delighted seeing her if he lived today:-))

Thank you both for your enjoyable comments, Netty and Stan.
