Timmendorfer Beach - A pontoon that has been damaged will be salvaged on Saturday.
On Saturday, we'll start rescuing the capsized work platform in Timmendorfer Strand. The mission begins at 6 am, as told by the leader of the tourism department, Gesine Muus, on Friday. According to a representative from the municipality, the skilled crane boat "Enak" will retrieve the 190-tonne barge. If things run smoothly, the operation will be done in a day, Muus predicted.
This mishap occurred on May 21 when the work platform broke free from its anchors due to wild winds. It then clashed with the under-construction seawall and became lodged there. Unfortunately, multiple rescue efforts were unsuccessful due to poor weather.
The anticipated premiere of the new seawall on September 20 isn't set to be delayed because of this incident. At 400 meters long, it'll gently follow the Baltic Sea's curve and cost approximately 11.8 million euros.
