What is this Mystery Ship?

I've seen this ship some 60 km south east of Dundee with a frighter along with it. Just lying there and doing nothing. 'Redemption' or something... (can't recall what it says) wtf is that?

I have frequently seen such lightships at the NW corner of Denmark, off the point of Skagen.

Just a note of warning:
The little ship next to the lightship is there so your watch crew can "see" the lightship, since the lightship itself is classed as environmental they cant see it directly and wouldnt call out "ship spotted" or drop the tc, so to avoid collisions there is a standard ship placed near it, sinking this ship anit a good idea.

Thanks Flakmonkey, lol. I sank that ship anyway. Which is okay, I won't be in that area again. I don't even know why it is there. The water is quite deep and it is miles and miles from shore.
