Disabled charter f/v taken in tow off Kiel
On June 2, 2013, the "Wiking" with 17 passengers aboard suffered engine failure in the fairway of the Kiel Canal approach in Kiel. While the crew was unable to start the engine again, the lifeboat "Berlin" of the DGzRS station Laboe was called to assist. The boat was on scene within short ime and took the disabled charter f/v in tow. To get the ship into its homeport Möltenort the small life boat "Walter Rose" of the DGRS-station Kiel-Schilksee assisted to pull it through the narrow harbour entrance and safely moor it at the fishing pier.
