The Boeran

This ship has spent the last decade or so shuttling back and forth between Godorf and Niehl, carrying gas from the Shell refineries to Ford's car factory, where it is used presumably for heating, welding, and other manufacturing processes. Given this, it's rare it left Cologne territory in all that time. This day was such an occurrence however, as it came by Grimlinghausen on its way back home to resume its everyday business.

 

It is also one of very few inland tankers without an IMO number. Rule of thumb is, all tankers have one, most dry cargo vessels don't - but the latter are more prone to exceptions.
