East Germany issued in 1983 four stamps for the “World Communication Year1983” of which two stamps have a maritime theme.
The 10p depict the radio station Rugen on Rugen Island in the Baltic, with in the distance stylized ships. The nearest is a cargo vessel (coaster) with two holds, the vessel to the right is also a cargo vessel with four holds, while the vessel on the left looks like a supply vessel but a supply vessel has no masts on the aft-deck, it can also be a small ro-ro vessel.
The 20p shows also a stylized four hold cargo vessel.

The small vessel on the left of the 10 Pfg stamp is a trawler.
