British ship in a German port?

Hello submariners

I'm playing GWX, and it's 1941. Everytime I go through the Kiel canal, at the West end there is a British ship (a tanker of some sort I believe) in that little port along with German ships. I don't remember when it started showing up there, but it's there consistently now, everytime I pass by to/from a patrol.

First time I saw it I initially left it alone, thinking maybe it was a captured ship or something(?). Then a couple Stukas showed up and bombed it. They damaged it, but it didn't sink. So I backed up, got into a firing position and sunk it with a torp (no deck gun, type II).

It dosen't seem very sporting to kill a sitting duck like that so I leave it alone now.

Can someone enlighten me as to why it's there?
