The Bremerlotse is a former pilot transfer boat that was used from 1956 to 1996 to change pilots on the Weser off Bremerhaven .

history

The Bremerlotse , which was delivered to the Lotsenbrüderschaft Weser I in Bremen on October 20, 1956 , was built in 1955/56 at the Fr. Schweers shipyard in Berne-Bardenfleth . The ship, which was built for a three-person crew , is 22.0 meters long, 4.6 meters wide and has a draft of 2.1 meters. It is driven by a diesel engine that acts on a controllable pitch propeller and thus reaches a speed of 13 knots .

In 1965 the ship, which was stationed at the pilot station in the mouth of the Geeste in Bremerhaven, joined the pilot brotherhood Weser II / Jade.

In March 1996 the ship was decommissioned and replaced by the Weserlotse pilot transfer ship . The Bremerlotse was supposed to be scrapped, but was bought on July 22, 1996 by the Schiffahrtsgeschichtliche Gesellschaft Bremerhaven, which had the ship overhauled between August 1997 and March 1998 at the Schichau Seebeck shipyard and continued to maintain it as a traditional ship.

At the beginning of 2008 the ship was chartered by the operator of the Bremen ports , Bremenports , for use as a ferry in Bremerhaven between the pier at the Rotersand customs gate and the Ölkaje. The operation became necessary because the connection via the Kaiserschleuse no longer existed due to the construction of the lock and a boat bought for this purpose in Canada had not yet been delivered.

At the beginning of 2009 the Bremerlotse was sold into private hands in Brake due to a lack of personnel prospects . A few months later, the ship was sold under the name Thor Neocorus with home port Büsum for exploring the wreck of the January 1883 after a collision in front of Borkum lower HAPAG -Schiffes Cimbria used.

The ship is now based in Hamburg again under the original name of Bremerlotse .
