Ferry Incident Near Rømø: The 'Sylt Express' Runs Aground

May 10, 2019 13:00

On May 10, 2019, the 'Sylt Express,' carrying 126 passengers, encountered an alarming situation shortly after its departure from Havneby at 10:30 a.m. The ferry, en route to List on Sylt, ran aground off the coast of Rømø island just 10 minutes into its journey, at coordinates 55° 4.63' N, 008° 34.02' E. At the time of the grounding, the tide was receding, leading experts to believe that the vessel would remain stranded for several hours due to the low water levels. Preliminary investigations indicated that technical difficulties may have led to the ferry veering off its intended course and grounding in the Wadden Sea. Fortunately, all passengers were kept comfortable with food and drink provisions while the crew worked to resolve the situation. As the afternoon progressed, the 'Sylt Express' successfully refloated ahead of the high tide, which occurred around 6 p.m., and returned to Rømø at 4:10 p.m. The ferry was temporarily sidelined for the remainder of the day for thorough inspections, including a hull survey by divers to assess any potential damages.
