Thanks phil & Victor
Jadran,, they do that in order not to go at anchor,, Rio Parana has rather strong currents and the anchorges are not always good and on top of that for small ships always
more work ,,5-6 times a week or more drop anchor and lifting again,,they put the bow into the river banks and thats it,,, one can see that also often on the mississippi river where tugs pushing the barges onto banks instead of anchoring

Never seen a ship so deep in the trees ...........!??

Hi Cpt. Ted,8727478 "cannot be an IMO number,it doesn´t respect the numerical rules of IMO numbers¨" GROSSTONNAGE says.
Solution: try 6...... instead og 8...... and appears ESTRELLA DEL ALBA inland tanker 467 gross built in 1967 UK.
Interesting photo as usual from you
