The Kloar Kimming is a German seaside resort ship that was built as Westerland on the Mützelfeldtwerft in Cuxhaven for the shipping company HADAG . Adler- Schiff GmbH & Co. KG in Westerland has been the owner of the ship since 2002 .

The current name means "clear view" and alludes to the North Frisian motto "Rüm hart - klaar kiming" ("big heart - clear view").

history

The keel of the ship was laid on June 3rd, the launch on December 5th, 1971. The ship was completed and handed over to the then shipowner in April 1972. Initially, it was used for excursions from Hörnum / Sylt to Helgoland and for butter trips on the Baltic Sea. In 1977 it was chartered to Kieler Verkehrs AG and renamed the City of Kiel II . Until 1978, the ship, which was sold to Kieler Verkehrs AG in 1978, was on the move between Kiel and Ærøskøbing as well as between Kiel and Rostock .

In 1979 the ship was sold again and homeland I renamed. Several changes of ownership followed before the ship was sold to Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei at the end of 1981 . The WDR used the ship for 20 years until the summer of 2001 as Pidder Lyng in Heligoland traffic. In place of two smaller vessels ( Rüm hard and Klaar Kiming ) is operated alternately the distances between the North Frisian Islands and Helgoland as well as of Husum to Helgoland and from Eidersperrwerk to Helgoland. The commissioning of the catamaran Cat No. 1 in 1999, which also drove from the North Frisian Islands to Helgoland at the same time, led to a decline in the utilization of the Pidder Lyng . During the Sail Bremerhaven in 2000, the ship was chartered out for day trips and briefly renamed Mare Gaudum , but then returned to Heligoland traffic under the old name.

In 2002 it was sold to the Adler-Schiff shipping company and renamed Adler Nordica . A charter to the Ørestad shipping company was planned. During the renovation at the Lindenau shipyard in Kiel , a fire broke out that destroyed the entire upper saloon. After this incident, the ship was completely renovated and was then used as Turasund between Malmö and Copenhagen until 2006 . In 2006 it was renamed back to Adler Nordica and was used by the Adler shipping company between the North Frisian Islands and the Danish island of Rømø and Helgoland.

The decommissioned Kloar Kimming after years of lay in Peenemünde in July 2017

In 2007 it was chartered to the Förde Reederei Seetouristik and renamed Kloar Kimming . The ship sailed the Bremerhaven- Helgoland route for one year . In June 2007 it got into heavy seas during a storm on the way back from Helgoland to Bremerhaven. Two passengers were injured and an outer window of the ship was destroyed. After the ship was first launched in autumn 2007 , it was chartered out to Prokon Nord Offshore-Installations GmbH in 2008, who wanted to use it as a residential ship for the construction of the alpha ventus wind farm . For this task, the ship was rebuilt at the Nesse shipyard in Leer and provided with chambers for a total of 45 fitters. The mission lasted only a few weeks.

The ship is currently in Peenemünde as a trailer .

Technical specifications

The ship is powered by two sixteen-cylinder four-stroke diesel engines from Motoren-Werke Mannheim, each with an output of 1397  kW . The motors act via reduction gears on two four-bladed controllable pitch propellers , with which the ship was equipped in the mid-1990s after it hit the ground. Originally, like the two sister ships Funny Girl and Fair Lady, it had two five-bladed fixed propellers. The maneuverability of the ship has been improved by installing the controllable pitch propellers. According to the captain at the time, a reduction in speed was accepted, for two reasons: on the one hand, the controllable pitch propellers are less efficient and, on the other hand, the ship has been operated at a constant speed since then, which was set lower than for economic reasons the previous speed at full speed.

The ship has a bow thruster .

Three diesel generators and an emergency generator are available for power supply.
