                                                 ugs are a common cargo to be seen on our vessels. What
                                                 seldom can be grasped are the dimensions, we are perform-
                                           T ing within. While approaching Hoek van Holland, our pho-
                                           tographer captured the pilot boat approaching MV Trina in rough
                                           sea. We think it requires a few guts to climb a small ladder in such
                                           conditions. MV Trina is carrying seven Damen tugs. The largest
                                           tug measures 29.8 × 10.4 × 16.5 metres with a weight of 559 tons.
                                           This picture turned out to be quite a hit on   LinkedIn. Our follow-
                                           ers started a competition to identify all the vessels shown on the
                                           picture.

                                           How many vessels do you see? D
