I suppose it is good to see all of them heavily loaded. The river levels must be good.

yes after a dry period,the floods came.
''fides'' was at the rhine,but the rest was taken in Ghent and that is behind the locks of Terneuzen holland.
although Ghent is inland,it is a seaport connected with a big deep canal between Terneuzen and Ghent that can handle big vessels
best regards Thijs

thanks jack

Great icy photos Jack. Good to have you back - long time, no Dutch inland freighters!
I spend too much time next to a little English canal, so some of the Dutch cargo ships make my mind boggle through their sheer size. Some more of these to come, but as a start how about Herkules XVI shepherding six barges up the Oude Maas last weekend. Not brilliant photos - largely 'cos I was so astonished at the size of what was passing me!!

raw massive power ,mark.
i love those pushers
best regards Thijs
Not sure if this should actually be in the hotel room thread, but this was the view from our room at Hotel ARA - the bank meant you couldn't see all of the water, but there was some rather expensive shipping real estate gliding past - another 'pusher' for Thijs.

And a few more. (There are hundreds of these!).
