I do not know how I came to write A-203 in my comment since it is quite obvious that it should have been A-903. My mistake and I am sorry.

Thank you rarcand. With my reference, I was 90% certain it was the Zeefakkel, but would rather wait if someone else would know it instantly. I see from most of the pictures that its hull must have been painted black at a later date.

You will find several picture of this ship at http://www.zeefakkel.nl/2011/12/18/hr-ms-zeefakkel-a903/, some of them with the pennant number A-203 painted at the bow and without the crest at the front of the bridge, quite looking like this picture.
