@Axel: I think these are block placing vessels used in 1970 for building the Hoek van Holland breakwater, one was named LIBRA, IMO 8139388 and NORMA, IMO 8330073:

Very pretty and sleek reefer. Quite "modern" for 1954 considering very similar design seen on younger ships.

Can the locals please explain what these two large yellow and red cranes are for in the background over her name?
