Looks like a double ender :P

If it's a fire boat, fighting fires at sea can make you nervous... and well, then you've got to go...

I MIGHT be wrong, but I think that is just what Mr Wavemusic has already been asking...

I still think my answer "floating thing" is the most accurate so far!

You're welcome WM.

Back on topic... I wonder if this boat might be some estuary/harbour/river monitoring vessel perhaps designed to survey the depth of rivers (silt etc) in countries that use waterways commercially (ie everywhere in Europe).

Those windows might be for crew day quarters for lots of engineering type of people. It reminds me of a boat I saw in Boulogne this year.
