- Lift defective - cultural ship "Stubnitz" later in Stralsund
The approximately 60-year-old cultural ship "Stubnitz" will arrive at the Stralsund city harbor later than planned. The ship lift at the Volkswerft Stralsund is not functioning, as announced in a statement from the Hanseatic city.
The lift is needed to lift ships onto land and to put them back into the water after repairs. The cultural ship is currently on the repair slipway at the Volkswerft.
Experts are on site to make the lift operational again, so that the "Stubnitz" can be launched back into the water, it was announced. The repair of the former refrigeration and transport ship of the DDR high-seas fishing fleet has been successfully completed on time. The ship will receive a new "ship TÜV", with the final acceptance still pending. After that, it can directly head to the city harbor, where events are planned until August 9th.
Despite the delay, the "Stubnitz" is eager to explore the city's monuments upon arrival. Once the ship is launched back into the water, it will be a sight to see, positioned near other notable monuments in the Stralsund city harbor.
