Ferry operation in Kiel: After Sturm, everything is now going again!

Friedrichsort, Kiel, Deutschland - A violent autumn storm significantly affected the ferry operation in Kiel on Monday. Line 1 was temporarily discontinued, as the towing and ferry company Kiel (SFK) announced. At the beginning of the day it was known that the Laboe and Bellevue juice points could not be operated before the ferry operation finally had to be completely suspended. On Tuesday morning, however, SFK spokeswoman Andrea Kobarg reported that all ferries drive again. Nevertheless, the ferry pier in Friedrichsort remains inaccessible, since there is searching for historical contaminated sites of the Second World War, which leads to delays, as kn-online.de reported.

The investor in Friedrichsort is not only affected because of the storm weather. From July 22, 2024, the area will be blocked for comprehensive renovation work. The aim of this measure is the accessible expansion of the investor, but beforehand the experts from the ordnance clearing service have to check whether there is still old ammunition from the Second World War in the water and on the shore. Historical data show that many contaminated sites are suspected in the Region. It is currently still unclear whether a greater defusing could be necessary. Until the end of August, the SFK advises the commuters to use the investor on Falckensteiner Strand, such as ndr.de reported.
