Date of photo unknown. Photo found on homepages of a Moroccan official homepage trying to attract investments to the occupied Western Sahara. 

The Moroccan agency originally labelled the photo "REMORQUEUR APRES ARRET", remorqueur suggesting that it is a tugboat. 

That is incorrect. Lingegas is, however, a Dutch owned gas tanker, with IMO number 8008383.
