Helgoland ferry Funny Girl” strands at sea with 250 passengers!
The maneuverable Helgoland ferry “Funny Girl”, which had almost 250 passengers on board, reached the mainland in the early morning. After the passenger ship got into trouble due to a power failure on board on Sunday evening, two tugs were brought to the port of the municipality of Büsum in Schleswig-Holstein. According to information from the Wasserstraßen- und Shipping Office Elbe-Nordsee, the problem occurred at around 5:30 p.m. when the crew informed the traffic center. In this case, a relatively frequent incident that can normally be remedied on site turned out to be more complicated.
According to reports, a switching board of the electrical system in the machine room was out, which led to the failure of both generators and impaired the cooling of the machines. Due to problems, the emergency generator was unable to deliver enough electricity. The return of the ship, which was originally planned for Sunday evening at 7.30 p.m., delayed significantly due to these technical difficulties. More details were not published, but the police reported that around 250 passengers were on board when the ship got into need. Further information on the incidents provides www.westfalen-blatt.de .
