COMMENT THIS PHOTO(3)
There is a book, based i.a. on Polish Ocean Lines' records, dealing with "Hel" collision in 1987. According to it, the ship finished the one before last voyage (No.41) still in March 1987. Then, for more than a month she was staying in Gdańsk Repair Shipyard for maintenance. Then, the voyage No.42 started formally on 05.05. with collecting cargo in Gdynia until 23.05., a call to Hamburg 25-26.05. and arrival to Antwerp on 28.05. in the morning. "Hel" had left Antwerp in the evening of 29.05. and was rammed by "Skyron" on the very next morning.
Luckily, with no personal injuries and limited environment pollution only.

(edit)
Good coating condition suggets that photo was rather taken after the stay in shipyard, than before;
Shore cranes look much more like those in Rosshafen in Hamburg - like in case of "Konin":

I am wondering, if the picture was rather taken during the last stay in Hamburg, on 25-26.05.1987?
