An unexpected bonus for ship-nuts from the current economic recession is that many ships owned by (particularly German) chartering companies are reverting to their original names, which in many cases the ships have never borne in service. So you get the opportunity to photograph the same ship under yet another guise.
Hamburg-based E R Schiffahrt (named after Erck Rickmers, a member of the famous, German, shipowning and shipbuilding family) is one such chartering specialist.

Yes Bob. Also anchored here for the past couple of weeks 'awaiting orders', the FRITZ REUTER (Klaus Schluter) and MELBOURNE STRAIT (Carsten Rehder). Though the latter sailed off for Hamburg this morning.

Hi, Phil,
I suppose a lot of these ships are coming off time charter and having to find spot and voyage charter jobs to keep going and avoid lay-up.
So the chickens eventually come home to roost for the German ship buying/building/investment system! Hard times for Germany's doctors and dentists?
The higher you climb, the further you have to fall!
cheers
Bob
