Looks like they requisitioned this tug.

 

I looked up "Ruhrort" and this is what came up ...

 

Ruhrort is a district within the German city of Duisburg situated north of the confluence of the Ruhr and the Rhine, in the western part of the Ruhr area. Ruhrort has the largest river harbour in the World, with quays extending nearly 40 kilometres along the river, and it is the principal inland shipping port in Germany.

 

It is not much, but it might be helpful.
