The Arwed Emminghaus was a sea rescue cruiser (SK) of the German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People (DGzRS) of the 26 m class (so-called Georg Breusing class), which was built in 1965 by the Schweers shipyard in Bardenfleth under the number 6389 . The DGzRS internal designation was KRS 7.

The daughter boat Alte Liebe (hull number 6390) had the internal designation KRT 7.

Engines

The ship is powered by three Maybach-Mercedes-Benz brand diesel engines. Two of the MB 836 DB engines have an output of 386 kW each . These are arranged on the port and starboard sides of the ship. The third MB 820 DB engine has an output of 994 kW. The two outer motors act on a variable-pitch propeller via a reduction gear , the middle engine acts on a fixed propeller via a reversing gear.

The engines accelerate the ship to a maximum of 18 knots (33 km / h). At 10 knots (18.5 km / h) the range of the ship is 1,700 nautical miles (3148 km).

Two Maybach-Mercedes-Benz generators are available for the power supply . One of the generators of the type OM 636 has an apparent power of 13 kVA , the other of the type OM 352 has an apparent power of 43 kVA.

Naming

The ship was christened in Bremen-Vegesack on May 29, 1965 for the 100th anniversary of the DGzRS in honor of Arwed Emminghaus , the man who can be seen as the driving force behind the establishment of organized sea rescue in Germany.

The daughter boat was named after the Alte Liebe pier in Cuxhaven .

deployment

From May 1965 to October 1985 the Arwed Emminghaus was stationed in Cuxhaven. Then she was at home at the DGzRS station in Grömitz until she was decommissioned in January 1993 , where she was replaced by Bremen .

Whereabouts

The Arwed Emminghaus as a museum ship in Burgstaaken

After the cruiser was decommissioned by the DGzRS, it was sold to the Icelandic sea rescue service ICE-SAR and put into operation there under the name Hannes þ Hafstein in 2188 . The daughter boat was named Siggi Guðjons . Until the end of 2006 the ship was stationed in Sandgerði (Iceland). At the beginning of 2007 it was sold to private customers in Rostock. The ship, which last had the home port of Rostock, was acquired in September 2013 by a private consortium, which wanted to make the ship accessible as a museum in Burgstaaken . On October 19, 2013, the ship completed its last voyage on its own keel to the port of Burgstaaken on the island of Fehmarn . It was then hit there in the harbor basin and the planned exhibition opened in autumn 2014. All rooms of the ship can be visited and the technology and equipment can be examined. Because the Arwed Emminghaus was last on duty in Iceland, many switches and labels are now Icelandic.
