Romanian merchant heading into Dutch port?

Tonight I spotted a ship heading east through AN87 into Zeebrugge it seems.Upon closer inspection it was confirmed as a Romanian large merchant,easily a juicy 7 and a half thousand tonner too.Now with Romania being allied to Germany for most of the war would it seem normal for Romanian shipping to operate in waters so close to Britain and France? I was lucky I didnt attack in the end,at first I thought it was a French vessel but moved in closer until I could JUST pick out yellow on the flag in the darkness,so much for having lights on ships,why don't they bloody use them?
