On March 26, 1954, the ship was laid out at the Weser station (position:) , but relocated to the Bremen station in 1955 and 1956 due to poor sea characteristics and insufficient engine power after the conversion from steam to engine propulsion. In 1956, renovation work was finally carried out on the ship again. Then it was laid out again at the Weser station. World icon
