Ferry out of service after fire

On July 9, 2019, at 6 p.m. a fire broke out in the engine room of the "Peter Pan" due to a mechanical damage of one of the five diesel generators. The ships own fire extinguishing systems could quickly tackle the fire which was out at 6.30 p.m, and the damage remained limited to this area. There were 271 passengers and a crew of 51 on board the ferry which was 5-6 nautical miles NE of Travemünde at that time, serving the route Rostock-Travemünde-Trelleborg and heading to Travemünde. There was strong smoke development on board. The ship initially resumed its voyage, but then its main engine failed, so that two tugs had to be called which reached the ferry around midnight. On June 10 at 2.30 a.m. the ship was berthed at the Scandinavia Quay in Travemünde. All passengers had remained uninjured and were safely disembarked. Those without car were accomodated in hotels in Travemünde by the TT Line. The other continued their voyage. Passengers booked on the ferry on July 11 were rerouted to other ferries. The "Peter Pan" remained at the quay by July 12. The amount of damage had yet to be assessed. The water police Travemünde launched an investigation. The ferry left the Scandinavia Quay in Travemünde again on July 21 at 10.10 p.m. and arrived in Trelleborg on July 2 at 7.30 a.m.
