The shipping company Cassen Eils GmbH is a shipping company active in seaside resorts and island traffic to Helgoland and Neuwerk as well as in excursion traffic from Cuxhaven and Fedderwardersiel . Today the company group AG Ems owned company is the oldest active Helgoland - shipping company .
History of the shipping company
The shipping company Cassen Eils was founded in June 1952 by the captain, shipowner and namesake Cassen Eils and his partner Ludwig Visser and was the first German shipping company in the post-war period to start regular service to the island of Helgoland with the second-hand seaside resort ship MS Rudolf .
The shipping company reached its peak in the years 1970 to 1999, when Cassen Eils operated numerous Heligoland connections with up to seven ships, including from Büsum , Cuxhaven , Norderney and Sylt , as well as duty-free shopping trips on the Baltic Sea on the Eckernförde - Sønderborg routes , Kiel-Laboe– Langeland , Kiel-Laboe– Ærøskøbing and Sassnitz - Rønne . With the discontinuation of duty-free sales, the shipping company withdrew from the Baltic Sea traffic and concentrated on the Helgoland traffic and the Neuwerk line.
Today the shipping company's ships operate on the routes Cuxhaven-Helgoland, Büsum-Helgoland, Bremerhaven-Helgoland, Hooksiel-Helgoland and Cuxhaven- Neuwerk . In the winter half year, the self-organized connection from Cuxhaven with MS "Helgoland" is the only ship connection to Helgoland. The ship calls at Helgoland's southern port all year round and does not anchor in the roadstead, so that there is no need to disembark with Börtebooters .
In September 2010 the shipping company Cassen Eils was taken over by the shipping company AG Ems , which is also active in Heligoland traffic . This ended the shipping company's almost 60 years of independence. The new owner continues to run the Cassen Eils shipping company as a subsidiary in the group of companies.
In February 2019, the shipping companies Adler-Schiff and Cassen Eils announced the establishment of the joint company Adler & Eils, through which they work together in Büsum. The Funny Girl used in Heligoland traffic from Büsum was transferred to the new shipping company in April 2019.
