The Norden is a buoy laying ship that is managed by the Emden Waterways and Shipping Office . Since 1998, the ship has been used by the Norderney branch in the area of the East Frisian Islands for navigation sign tasks and the shipping police service between the Harler Seegatt and the Osterems .
Construction and delivery
The Fassmer shipyard in Berne received the order for the new buoy laying machine in 1996. For capacity and cost reasons, the construction of the hull has been sub-contracted to the Begej shipyard in Serbia Zrenjanin awarded where the new building on 18 February 1997 to set Kiel and the on 7 July 1997 left stack was. The completion and equipment of the ship was then carried out at the Fassmer shipyard. After almost a year of construction, the Norden was christened in Berne on January 21, 1998 and handed over to the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration on January 28, 1998 in Norderney .
Furnishing
The Norden differs from the conventional buoy layers in that the bridge superstructures are in the fore section. This arrangement protects the working deck against impact from the sea , the engine noise in the crew rooms is greatly reduced and the payload is distributed in a trim-favorable manner . The working deck is around 70 square meters and can accommodate two large light barrels. There is an additional storage area of ten square meters for the anchor stones and chains. With the working crane arranged aft ( load capacity eight tons, hook height nine meters, jib length 10.7 meters, working range 300 °) the navigation signs and their anchorages are suspended and retrieved. For the work boat, the crane has a separately driven head roller with a sea state follower. The additional rescue boat lies across the aft deck and is moved using its own davit .
For safe and reliable use of the north are on the bridge two control stations set up a forward-looking guidance for the nautical in transit and directed for the work as a buoy tender back. The technical facilities have reduced the crew from ten to five people. The special features of the Wadden Sea are taken into account by the fact that the north can easily fall dry . All moving parts of the hull are higher than the flat keel and the energy supply is secured by an air-cooled auxiliary diesel .
