Hey niklas, please post more detailed pics of the ship. I see it every morning in the live webcam from the EK building. Thanks

The same ship can be seen in the next picture too, but I'm afraid it doesn't add any new details. :)
The EK webcam Giamaica mentioned can be seen here: http://www.ek.fi/kamera/palace00.jpg

There's also another red ship but smaller in the webcam view. Is is also a light ship?

Yep, it's a former lightship named Relandersgrund. Nowadays it serves as a restaurant boat in the city of Kotka, where it has the nickname Rellu. More information: http://hhlweb.biz/00-relandersgrund.htm.
Both ships are in Helsinki because of the upcoming annual Baltic Herring Fair (pdf).

Hi Niklas,
I am a lightship enthusiast from Germany, looking for details about the lightship RELANDERSGRUND. Could you please tell me, if the lightship is still in Helsinki or if it went back to Kotka?
