Are they something new, something for "green water boats" or are they something I've just never noticed before?

The markings on te stern of the Three Rivers (at least from the pictures that were in the News Photo section) are indications of the prop, and I think the other markings are where the ballast tanks are located.

Lately, I've seen multiple and new vessel markings (i.e.: Three Rivers in a picture in the ditch) - while I am familiar with Plimsoll, tug placement, bulbous bow, bow thruster, markings, etc. - I am curious what the markings are that are towards the stern of these new vessels. Are they something new, something for "green water boats" or are they something I've just never noticed before?
