commitment

In everyday life, the Leyhörn mainly performs transport tasks in island and coastal protection. For example, the ship is often used to transport vehicles for dike maintenance on the East Frisian Islands , but also for the disposal of garbage containers. Since the ship can fall dry , the stern ramp can also be used independently of port facilities. The operating radius of the ship is 700  nautical miles .

To combat oil, the boom oil barriers installed on board can be extended with a length of 7.5 meters on each side, so that the width of the ship results in a pick-up width of around 23 meters. Oil on the water is fed to a brush system via the oil barriers. The system, equipped with four rotating brush discs on each side of the ship, picks up the oil from the surface of the water. It is pumped into the cargo tanks available for this purpose. In this way, up to 80 cubic meters of oil per hour and side of the ship can be siphoned off. The system works up to a wave height of 1.5 meters.
