A starboard quarter view of the workboat DN 50 (flourishing 1981) sitting inside a split hopper barge at Singapore. The photographer is standing in the wheelhouse of the split barge looking forward to the bow showing how the workboat has been secured in the open hold. The words "DN 50 Brugge" are painted on the stern of the workboat. The barge, which is either the Magellano 1800 or the Verrazzono 1800, is berthed starboard side to the suction dredger Marco Polo (1979). The skyline of Singapore city is in the background.
