Sturm forces shipping companies to cancel: Funny Girl stays in the harbor!

Von WOM

Bad news for travelers: The excursions to Helgoland, which were to take place today from Büsum and Brunsbüttel, have been canceled due to strong storms. The weather does not play along and the shipping companies have to throw their plans over the pile. The well -known "Funny Girl" should actually be in action after a previous accident, but nature has other plans.

The flood on the North Sea has meant that the ships cannot run by Adler & Eils and the FRS Helgoline. The first departure was planned for 9:30 a.m., but the storm warnings make the crossing impossible. Holidaymakers and day trippers who had already booked a ticket can either have their trip reimbursed or rebook on a later date.

technical problems with the "Funny Girl"

The "Funny Girl" got into trouble last Sunday when they were maneuverable with 250 passengers on board in front of Helgoland. A technical defect caused both generators to fail, which led to a complete power failure on board. Only by using two tugs could the ship be brought back to Büsum. According to the shipping company, the "Funny Girl" should be ready again today to promote passengers, but the storm has also put a strain on the bill.

Jannes Piepgras, Managing Director of Adler & Eils, encouraged: "If the weather permits, Funny Girl will be ready for use tomorrow." This gives hope that the connections can be recorded regularly as soon as possible.

The severe weather warning is given special attention because the effects of the ex-hurricane "Kirk" can also be felt in this region. The coasts are currently experiencing increased rains and gusts of wind. It is therefore important to pursue the current weather reports and reports from the shipping companies in order not to be surprised uncomfortably.

In the meantime, the situation for passengers remains tense. The ships are an important connection to Helgoland for many, and the current uncertainty causes resentment and disappointment. The shipping companies hope that the weather conditions will improve quickly to restore smooth operation. The "Funny Girl" is being repaired according to the previous information, but the exact cause of the technical problems is currently being determined.

In addition, the "Nordic" guard ship remains in position in front of Helgoland, ready for a possible use. The crew on board must be available and defy the challenges of bad weather, which makes their everyday life a constant balancing act between preparations and reactionability.
