Rescue mission before Rügen: Sea rescuers help the incarnated crew in storm!

Vor Rügen, Deutschland - Especially on a windy Monday evening, June 24, 2025, the German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecker (DGZRS) was called for serious use before Rügen. Here was a two -master around 16 meters long, which stuck in an emergency with an eight -member crew, including several children and a medically needy man. Despite storm warnings, the ship had been in difficulty when the engine failed and the crew tried to run the coast sailing, but without success. Because of the strong waves and the growth of the weather - wind force 8 and gusts of up to 74 km/h - the water spilled on board, and the crew could hardly draw, reported [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vormern/vorpommern/seenotretter-helfetter-polnischer-corn-vor-ruegen

The challenge was significant because communication with the crew stopped over a weak mobile phone connection. The DGZRS rescue control center was informed in the evening and immediately headed two rescue units and other ships, including a research ship from the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea research. Almost two north of the Cape Arkona, the accident was finally spotted and safely brought to Glowe, where the seasicker and hypothermic man could be taken care of.

strong partner in sea rescue

Behind the fast rescue operation are the great work and the commitment of the DGZRs. This organization, which has been in use since 1865, is committed to the sea rescue on the North and Baltic Sea. Around the clock and in any weather, the sea ragers provide help in emergency situations, be it through humans overboard, machine damage or simply exhaustion on the water.

No matter for whatever reason, the DGZRS has saved over 87,000 people or freed from dangers since it was founded. The Breege station, where the new sea rescue boat "Manfred Hessdörfer" is stationed, is managed by Vormann Olaf Redmer and a committed team of 15 voluntary sea rescuers. This boat, which was baptized in Breege on September 8, 2019, is a real power pack. With a length of 9 meters and a speed of up to 70 km/h, the Rigid Buyancy Boat is well equipped to help us in difficult situations, as the [emergency services] (https://www.rettungsdienst.de/news/neues-seenotreettung-der- der Dgzrs-Ruegen-61179) told

ready for the challenge

The "Manfred Hessdörfer", the fourth rescue unit at the Breege station, scores with a stable, light fuselage and two powerful 200-hp exterior engines. Their maneuverability and towing behavior are excellent, which makes them an indispensable tool in the North and Baltic Sea.

The sea rescuers can rely on solid financing through donations that enables them to continue to ensure safety on the water in the future. Possibilities for support are diverse: from regular donations to voluntary work to considering in the will. Every help counts!

In the last stormy night, it once again became clear how important this committed work is for safety on the water. Thanks to the quick intervention and the tireless use of the DGZRs, all crew members could be saved safely, and they can now find back home from the danger zone.
