Gneisenau and RUAG towboat photo - help needed!

[Derhummel]

Hello! This is a battleship Gneisenau photo with a towboat in front of it. Note that there is a shipping company name and logo painted on towboat's funnel. Is there any information for what company RUAG stands for, what was full name?

Best regards, Roman

It could be the Unterweser "Reederei RUGA"

Here a book dealing with the 100 years history of the RUGA Reederei:

"Geschichte der Schleppschiffahrt - 100 Jahre Unterweser Reederei R U G A Band 1

Hamburg, Koehlers Verlagsgesellschaft, 1990. 120 S. mit überaus zahlr . Abb. und Risse in s/w u. farbig 27 x 21,5cm 4° "
