Technical defect: Fair Lady out of the Helgoland season early!
Travelers on the North Sea have to prepare for some changes, because the popular seaside resort ship FAIR LADY from the Cassen Eils shipping company has ended its Helgoland season early. The reason for this is an unexpected technical defect that forces the ship into the shipyard. Whether the repairs will be lengthy or complicated is still unclear. What the exact causes are remains unclear for now, but the shipping company is concerned about the extent of the work required, which could potentially be significant Langeoog News reported.
The FAIR LADY started sailing earlier than usual this year, with departures from places like Langeoog and Bremerhaven. But now all trips from Bremerhaven have been canceled, and the popular routes to Helgoland, Wilhelmshaven, Hooksiel and Norddeich cannot be served for the time being North24 reported. The ship, which has been completely renovated and undergone maintenance work, now appears to be overcoming unexpected challenges.
The waiting time for repairs
While the FAIR LADY has been in the shipyard since the end of May, the exact cause of the damage remains a mystery. There could perhaps be gearbox damage, which is being speculated on internet portals. In this respect, the shipping company Cassen Eils has decided not to confirm this assessment for the time being, which only increases the uncertainty. A look at the situation of the competition could be helpful for travelers: From Cuxhaven, the ships “MS Helgoland” and “Nordlicht” offer daily trips, including up to three departures daily in summer. A good tip for still reaching the sought-after island of Helgoland.
The seaside resort ship FAIR LADY has secured a permanent place in the North Sea travel program over the years. But the fate of such ships is not always positive. An incident from last season sheds light on the dangerous sides of sea travel: a power failure on the ferry “Funny Girl” left the ship adrift in the North Sea, unable to maneuver, until it was finally rescued by tugboats. Fortunately, all passengers remained well, which the shipping company Cassen Eils also remembers as a positive point, as the district newspaper reports.
An outlook on the next events
However, the Cassen Eils shipping company is optimistic about the future and invites travelers to look forward to upcoming events. “Seaside Resort Day” takes place on July 12th, with a colorful island festival and traditional fireworks. Families also have the opportunity to travel at reduced prices and take advantage of child-friendly offers on Wednesdays.
