The scene depicts a maritime transfer operation occurring at sea off the coast of Orimedu, Nigeria, under an overcast sky. The image is taken from an elevated perspective on the deck of a large vessel, which features grey decking, white railings, and a prominent white crane arm extending over the water on the left. Text "NASADA SWL 4t 3-9.5m" is visible on the crane arm. From a hook at the end of this crane, a large, dark-colored bundle of tangled ropes or netting is suspended directly above the water. On the deck of the foreground vessel, a single individual wearing a white hardhat and light-colored workwear is visible, positioned near the railings. Stairs with yellow and black hazard stripes ascend towards the upper deck on the left. In the lower right, a red and white lifebuoy is attached to the railing, which also features a line of razor wire along its top. To the right of the foreground vessel, a red and white tugboat or workboat is positioned, creating a wake from its stern, indicating movement. This vessel has a black fendering system around its hull and a mast structure on its deck. Further in the background, a second, darker-colored vessel, also appearing to be a tug or workboat, moves away from the scene, leaving a visible wake on the dark blue-green water. The horizon is visible in the distance, meeting a hazy, light grey sky.
