The ship
The ship, conceived as an extreme flat walker with a modern yacht look, was built at the Georg Placke shipyard in Aken in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district in Saxony-Anhalt . The shallow draft of only 0.60 meters enables the planned routes to be adhered to even at low water levels. It is approved for the transport of up to 300 people. Value was placed on an optimal window look. A galley , a counter area, a coffee counter and a showcase with a bar area, supervised by a service team, are available for passenger care to provide catering for the passengers .
