Thanks again Michael, for your investigation in this case;) Now we have a graphic verification of Bjoern's and your assumption.
Btw, it's a great photograph you managed to take!

It looks like the vessel is indeed undergoing maintenance, swung by the Hansahafen today for a closer look, http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2359708

Hi Michael, thank you for your detailed explanation, shedding some more light on the case. Much appreciated.

Best regards, David

I agree with captbjoern, this stowage arrangement would suggest such a maintenance scheme. We do something similar when cellguides need to be repaired in the cargo hold, loading containers and folded flatracks to provide a steady base to work on.
Brgds, Michael

Thanks Bjoern for the explanation, in this case the stack of containers shall stabilize the crane, or what's their actual use?

Regards, David

Cheers Clyde, boarding a ferry is probably the most exciting way to discover the depths of the inner harbour!

Thanks for your comment ferry-man Clyde;)
Regards, David

The Containers were most probable placed in that Position for maintenance / repair on aft crane.

Certainly an eye catcher David. Another example of the use of ferries for shipspotting!!!

Hola Antonio, thanks for your comment! Myself, I was unable make head or tail of it, but there must be a deeper sense behind it, I believe:-))

However, she looks pretty rusted and has yet made no move to depart Hamburg port so maybe she's a candidate for the dry-dock.

Regards, David

Curious stowage , regards Antonio.
