Cologne cargo ship (#0569)

The Joline, an inland cargo ship traveling under the flag of the Netherlands and built in 2003. When I checked the details on it (link below), it was almost in the same location as when I took this picture, and was listed as needing a draught (depth for floating) of 2m (6.6’).

Interesting (to me) is that the pictures on the link below indicate that the vessel’s bridge (control room) is raised or lowered depending on the height of the cargo.
