... by the way - The construction on the bow of Sachsen-Anhalt, what is it? I read that the bow section is built by Lürssen shipyard and brought to Hamburg, so is it some kind of device to keep the section upright during transport?

Thank you Rian and David for the input and thanks to the admin for changing the title of the photo and putting it in the right category:-)

Cheers,
Jens

Hi Jens,
I think the left one is "FGS Nordrhein-Westfalen F223", while in the dock it's "Sachsen-Anhalt" like Rian stated below.
