Dispute over new pier: Why bathroom ships cannot create!

In Timmendorfer Strand, the new pier rises proudly into the Baltic Sea, measures a proud 427 meters and cost an impressive 11.8 million euros. But instead of the desired bathroom ships that you should put on, the pier remains unused. The reasons for this unpleasant situation are diverse and result in a dispute over the responsibility between the Shipping companies and the community. The captains of the bathing ships comment critically on the conditions on the investor and describe it as unsuitable.

Lisa-Marie Böttcher, managing director of the Böttcher shipping company, highlights security problems that occur particularly in strong wind and low water levels. Their planned hop-on-hop-off tours, which had planned a landing on the pier, are therefore not feasible. Maxim Quales of Q-Boats confirms similar experiences and has passed down its ships to the investor on the seaside trolley bridge, where the conditions are better.

Problems with creating

The difficulties when putting on the new investor are obvious. Mayor Sven Partheil-Böhnke is now asking the captains to practice creating in the flat water. He even brings the idea into play that a local fisherman could give support. This procedure shows that the municipality is looking for alternative solutions after a planned stopover on the pier has already been painted.

The problems are not just technical in nature; The captains also expressed concerns during the planning phase, but they were not sufficiently taken into account. The creation is judged as demanding and dangerous for swimmers, especially in unfavorable weather conditions.

financial hurdles

Another proposal to convert the sports boat investor for the landing company of bathroom ships fails due to the high costs of 200,000 euros. The mayor rejected this investment, which further increases the uncertainty about the future use of the pier as a jetty for bathroom ships. The discussion about the pier remains tense, while those responsible are looking for solutions to fix the weak points.

Reporting on this topic will continue to be of interest, since the ambiguity about the use and concerns of the shipowner will remain until further notice. You can do more in the articles of Nordkurier and NDR read.
