Kevin has been in contact with one of the Tyne pilots and as luck would have it he could well have been in charge of this ship at the time. He remembers that it was the SZITZER SWORD's first job and they were just realising that with her draught plus voiths she was too deep for the river. He also thinks that it may well be the KAPITAN VODENKO as suggested by Patrick but he needs to check when he is next in at work, tomorrow (If the computer records go that far back). The date of the photo should be 01/04/2009. April Fool's Day, which is why Malcolm made such a mess of the photo:-)
Re the SZITZER SWORD, she was even too deep to sit in the dredged pocket at Svitzer's Quay.

Dave, I can be relied upon to make a mess on any old day! Though I do make a special effort on April fools Day!

"That will learn me" as they say. Shouldn't take a poke at Malcolm when I have made a right c0ck up myself. I blame predictive text.
