Cargo ships on their way from or to the port of Hamburg, one of the biggest cargo ports in Europe.

Fun fact:
Each ocean ship going past "Willkommhöft" between 11 a.m. and sunset will get greeted acoustically via speakers playing a short greeting message as well as the respective national anthem of the ship's registered home port. The name of this location indicates this as well: "Willkomm(en)" translates to welcome in english language.

Use the MarineTraffic monitor (https://www.marinetraffic.com/) to check if ships are inbound to Hamburg. Bring a decent telephoto lens to get close-up shots.
