Ferry 'Wangerooge' Faces Damage During Emergency Turn
On July 20, 2017, a serious medical emergency prompted the ferry 'Wangerooge' to make an unexpected turnaround while en route from Harlesiel to Wangerooge. An urgent situation arose, necessitating the airlift of a woman to a local hospital after the vessel safely returned to Harlesiel. Unfortunately, during the tight maneuver in the narrow fairway, the ferry suffered damage to its rudder gear, requiring immediate repairs. To address the disruption in service, two ferries, 'Harlingerland' and 'Jens Albrecht,' were scheduled to assist passengers on July 21. That same day, at 10:15 a.m., the tugboat 'Jade Tug' (IMO 211226440) took the 'Wangerooge' in tow, guiding it to the New Jade Yard in Wilhelmshaven, where it arrived at 5 p.m. The repairs, aimed at fixing the jammed rudder, were carried out by Rathmann Maschinenbau in Ritterhude, with completion expected by July 26.
