Westhaven

Believe it or not. This is one and the same ship. In the middle of the two parts there is a sort of hinge. While going forward, the front section turns to end alongside the aft section. Spectaculair sight.

*Wrong ENI above; 02316531 belongs to Twister 2, this one is Twister II. Twister II is a former "Sleepvrachtschip" built in 1929 and was later converted to a "Duwsleepschip". So this is not one ship but an inland dry cargo vessel and a barge. For comparison, look here
