Litauen: Die Überfahrt

Am Freitag sind wir (meine zwei Mitschüler und ich) voller Tatendrang und Motivation in Kiel gestartet. Vom dortigen Ostuferhafen ging es auf die Fähre nach Klaipeda. Nach 20 Stunden Überfahrt, bei leichtem Seegang und zwischen litauischen LKW-Fahrern, kamen wir dann in Klaipeda an. Nachdem wir den netten, hilfsbereiten Damen von der Information unser anliegen, nach Vilnius weiterzureisen, klar gemacht hatten, haben diese uns gleich ein Taxi bestellt dass uns weiter zum Busbahnhof gebracht hat. Auch hier konnten wir uns gut mittels Englisch verständigen und saßen kurze Zeit später im Reisebus nach Vilnius. Während der Fahrt konnten wir uns einen kleinen Eindruck von Klaipeda machen: kleine verfallene Häuschen neben kunstvoll bemalten neuen Gebäuden, je weiter man in’s Stadtzentrum kommt desto moderner und schöner wird das Bild. Die Landschaft zwischen Klaipeda und Vilnius hat mich sehr an zu Hause erinnert: weite, offene Felder, unterbrochen von Bäumen und kleinen Wäldchen und dem ein oder anderen Teich, manchmal leicht hügelig, aber meistens relativ flach. Und während die Sonne in unseren Rücken unterging, fuhren wir ein nach Vilnius. Da es bereits 22:oo Uhr war, hatten wir es doch recht eilig unsere Wohnung zu finden und haben eher wenig auf unsere Umgebung geachtet. Der dritte Taxifahrer war dann, nach reichlich Hand- und Fußaction, endlich bereit uns in unser neues Domizil zu befördern. Dort angekommen konnten wir nach anfänglichen Konnektivitätsproblemen unsere Vermieter erreichen und wurden herzlich in unserer temporären Unterbringung willkommen geheißen. Nach einer kurzen Führung und der Verabschiedung sind wir dann auch alle erschöpft in unsere Betten gefallen und haben die erste Nacht in Litauen verbracht.

Cruise Season 2019 Kicks-Off In Port Of Kiel With Call By AIDAcara

The call by the cruise vessel “AIDAcara” on Sunday, 7th April, marks the beginning of Kiel’s cruise season 2019. Dr Dirk Claus, Managing Director at PORT OF KIEL (SEEHAFEN KIEL GmbH & Co. KG: “The upcoming cruise season will be very exciting and we will welcome a lot of new ships to Kiel. The second and new terminal building at the Ostseekai is presently under construction and we are working on the implementation of the onshore power project.”

The port is currently investing about 30 million Euros in the cruise sector. Half of this amount is dedicated to sustainability measures. To that effect, the construction of the commercial port’s first onshore power supply plant at the Norwegenkai Terminal is on the finishing straight. The facility will be inaugurated this spring.

The Ostseekai Cruise Terminal and the Schwedenkai Ferry Terminal will both be equipped with onshore power supply plants as well next year. This innovative project has been tendered just recently. Dirk Claus: “We expect to supply 70 to 80 cruise vessels with onshore power at the Ostseekai Terminal during the first full operating year. This represents half of the overall cruise calls at our city terminals.”

NUMEROUS SEASON HIGHLIGHTS AND NEW VESSEL SIZE RECORDS

Kiel expects numerous highlights this season and a new record in terms of tonnage. After the new vessel “Mein Schiff 2” has already been handed over by the Meyer Turku Shipyard to the shipping company of TUI Cruises at the Ostseekai at the beginning of the year, another six maiden calls are envisaged for the season.

The vessels “Nieuw Statendam” of Holland America Line, the “AIDAprima” as well as the expedition ship “World Explorer” will visit Kiel for the very first time amongst others. The most frequent guests will be the vessels of the shipping companies of AIDA, TUI Cruises, MSC and Costa that use Kiel for passenger turnaround.

Dirk Claus: “I am very happy that Costa is again doubling the number of its cruises starting in Kiel this year.” The largest vessel of the season is the “MSC Meraviglia” (171,600 GT) which sets a new record in terms of tonnage on the fjord. With this ship, MSC is offering 22 voyages across Northern Europe starting from Ostuferhafen.

The peak of the season will be on 17th August when in addition to the large ferries to Scandinavia there will be no less than four ocean-going cruise vessels in port at the same time, namely the “AIDAprima”, the “AIDAluna”, the “Vasco da Gama” and the “MSC Meraviglia”. A total of 179 visits (2018: 169) by 33 different cruise vessels have been registered in Kiel for 2019. The overall tonnage rises to more than 15 million GT (2018: 11.5 million GT) and the number of passengers is expected to clearly exceed 600,000.

NEW OSTSEEKAI TERMINAL BUILDING TO BE INAUGURATED IN SUMMER

In order to continue to offer the first-class service to the ever-growing number of passengers also in the future, a second modern terminal building is currently under construction at the Ostseekai, which abuts the northern side of the existing terminal building. The works have begun with the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone at the end of October 2018 and will continue on until summer 2019.

Dirk Claus: “Even though we are not precisely meeting our rather ambitious schedule, we are still very well prepared for the season.” The check-in service at Berth 28 will take place using a tent system which is currently being assembled. As the construction works at the new building progresses, the gangway will connect the northern berth to the existing terminal again.

The new terminal will then be taken into operation during the middle of the season. The winter months were also leveraged to extend the scour protection and to establish a consistent water depth at the Ostseekai berths. Furthermore, the sheet piling wall of Berth 28 will receive a coating in the area of fluctuating water levels, a concrete beam will be inserted and the fenders will be revised. At Ostuferhafen, the port apron is being expanded in the meantime and Shed 7 will be integrated into the passenger handling processes for “MSC Meraviglia” as of 27th April.

SEA TOURISM IS OF GROWING IMPORTANCE FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY

The sea tourism sector continuously increases its economic importance for the State Capital City of Schleswig-Holstein. More than 2.2 million passengers are expected to board or leave a ferry or cruise vessel in the port of Kiel this year.

Dirk Claus: “We are strengthening our position as one of the leading ports of origin and destination and what’s more, international guests also visit us more often during ongoing cruises.” According to the recently published study, passengers already generated a turnover of about 68 million Euros in Kiel in 2017. The total consumer spending of the ferry passengers of the port of Kiel amounts to more than 53 million Euros.

Another 15 million Euros are added to that by cruise passengers’ and crews’ expenditure. More than 100,000 overnight stays in local hotels are booked by passengers for the time right before or after their cruise. The average consumer spending of one passenger beginning his or her cruise in Kiel amounts to about 48 Euros. About half of the daytime visitors arriving in Kiel by cruise ship go on organised shore excursions, another 40 % make individual excursions. In addition to the excursion costs, every stop-over passenger spends 20 Euros on average in the region.

VESSEL EMISSIONS MERGE INTO THE CITY’S BACKGROUND POLLUTION LEVELS

Last year, an emission measurement study was conducted in the port of Kiel of which the results are now available. Dirk Claus: “The report shows that the vessel emissions are scarcely detectable and merge into the background pollution levels. During the cruise season, the emis-sion values are even lower than those detected during the winter months where there are no cruise ships in port. All regulatory threshold values are complied with at all times.”

The emission measurement study started at the beginning of April 2018 and lasted until the end of the year. At the two points of measurement on “Hegewischstraße” and at the University of Applied Sciences Kiel particulate matter PM10 was sampled on a daily basis by means of a reference method and was then gravimetrically analysed. On “Hegewischstraße” also PM 2.5 was sampled and analysed in the same way. In addition, the levels of nitrogen oxides (NO2) were determined with passive collectors at both locations. The examined parameters were lower than the regulatory threshold values of the 39th Federal Immission Protection Regulation (BImSchV) at all points of measurement.

Regarding the airborne particles PM 10, the municipal background pollution measured at the reference station “Bremerskamp” amounted to 15 µg/m³ (annual limit value: 40µg/m³). The pollution values at both monitoring points of the port did not differ from the municipal background. The permitted regulatory thresholds were not exceeded on any day. The results for PM 2.5 are similar.

The average annual value measured was 8.1 µg/m³ (limit value: 25 µg/m³) which is also in the range of the background pollution level. Similarly, the nitrogen dioxide pollution at the points of measurement safely remains well below the threshold value (40 µg/m³). On “Hegewischstraße” an average NO2 level of 21.3 µg/m³ was measured which is to be classed as being one of the higher values of the municipal background pollution.

Around the University of Applied Sciences the pollution measured lay at 15.8 µg/m³ which is of a similar dimension to that taken at the reference point of measurement at “Bremerskamp” (14 µg/m³).

Port Of Kiel Marks The Last Of Nine Maiden Visits This Year

The cruise ship “Viking Sky” sailed into the Kiel Fiord on her maiden visit to Kiel early on Tuesday morning escorted by a water fountain display from a local tug. The ship’s arrival also marks the ninth and final occasion this season on which a cruise ship has visited the port for the first time.

Nicole Claus, Cruise Shipping Director of the PORT OF KIEL said “The high number of maiden calls underscores the fact that Kiel, in addition to its function as a base port for cruise shipping, is also being utilised more and more as a jumping-off point for day trips ashore. International cruise ship travellers are increasingly discovering Schleswig-Holstein as a holiday destination in its own right.”

This year Kiel has already been visited by the cruise shipping companies Cunard, Fred Olsen, HAL, Ponant, Pullmantur, P&O and Saga as part of ongoing cruises. Available to the more than 900 mainly English-speaking passengers of “Viking Sky” are trips ranging from city tours in Kiel itself and also in the Hanse city of Lübeck to panorama journeys through the scenic region known as Holstein Switzerland and excursions to the seaside spa resort of Laboe.

While the passengers of “Viking Sky” were on their land excursions, the Operations Director of the PORT OF KIEL Jörg Demuth welcomed the ship’s captain Robert Bamberg at a reception on board and presented him with the traditional commemorative plaque awarded by the Schleswig-Holstein federal state capital Kiel to ships visiting the port for the first time. Jörg Demuth: “We are delighted that Viking Ocean Cruises has taken our port into consideration in its route planning. Schleswig-Holstein and the federal state capital have much to offer travel-lers as tourist destinations and we look forward to their visits.” The “Viking Sky” is on an elev-en-day Scandinavian cruise which began on September 25th in the Danish capital Copenha-gen. The ship reached the Kiel Fiord via Fredericia after first calling at Gothenburg, Oslo and Skagen. At the end of a day in Kiel the “Viking Sky” was heading for the locks at Kiel-Holtenau prior to passing through the Kiel Canal during the night with Hamburg as her destination. The northern Europe cruise ends on October 6th in Amsterdam, before the ship sails on to the Mediterranean.

“Viking Sky” is 228 m long and of 47,800 GT. She went into service just last year. Viking Ocean Cruises, like Spanish operator Pullmantur Cruises, is among new customers whose ships are calling at Kiel for the first time this year. In addition to “Viking Sky”, sister ship “Viking Sun” has already visited Kiel’s Ostseekai this year. During next year’s season the operator plans three visits to Kiel. The “Viking Sky” will be the first to call again at the Ostseekai – on March 27th.

Maiden ship calls to Kiel in 2018: 1. 06.04.2018 BOUDICCA, Fred. Olsen 2. 27.04.2018 MEIN SCHIFF 1, TUI 3. 28.04.2018 MSC PREZIOSA, MSC 4. 04.05.2018 ZENITH, Pullmantur 5. 17.05.2018 SAGA SAPPHIRE, Saga Cruises 6. 03.07.2018 VIKING SUN, Viking 7. 17.07.2018 QUEEN VICTORIA, Cunard 8. 11.09.2018 AURORA, P&O Cruises 9. 02.10.2018 VIKING SKY, Viking

Photos: Viking Ocean Cruises Premiere In Port Of Kiel With ‘Viking Sun’

Viking Ocean Cruises has chalked up its first visit to the port of Kiel. Escorted by a port tug and to the accompaniment of a water fountain display, the company’s “Viking Sun” berthed at the Ostseekai Cruise Terminal after arriving early Tuesday morning July 3rd.

During an on-board reception, the Managing Director of the PORT OF KIEL Dr Dirk Claus welcomed Captain Olav Soevdsnes and presented him with the traditional commemorative plaque awarded by the Schleswig-Holstein federal state capital to ships visiting the port for the first time.

“It is an honour that Viking Ocean Cruises has included our port in its route planning for the first time”, the port chief said. The 47,800 GT “Viking Sun”, which is 227 m long and has 465 cabins, was taken into service in 2017 and named in Shanghai in March this year.

The ship is on an eleven-day Scandinavian cruise which began on June 27th in the Danish capital Copenhagen. After first calling at Gothenburg, Oslo and Skagen, the ship reached the Kiel Fiord via Fredericia. After spending a day in Kiel the “Viking Sun” is going to head for the locks at Kiel-Holtenau prior to passing through the Kiel Canal overnight. Her cruise end destination is Amsterdam.

“The federal state capital Kiel has much to recommend itself to international visitors”, said Dirk Claus, “and is the stepping-off point for day excursions throughout the whole of Schleswig-Holstein.” Offers open in this instance to the passengers of the “Viking Sun” range from city tours in Kiel and the historic Hanse city of Lübeck, through trips to the local scenic area known as Holstein Switzerland with stops in Eutin and Gut Panker, to visits to the seaside spa resort of Laboe.

In addition, visitors have the opportunity to explore Kiel on their own because the city centre is right next to the ship’s berth at the Ostseekai Terminal. “Schleswig-Holstein as a tourist destination is being taken ever more seriously by the international shipping companies”, says Dirk Claus. “The port of Kiel will continue to grow in this sector, offering not only its nautical advantages and its modern terminal facilities but also proximity to points of interest for tourists.”

Viking Ocean Cruises, along with the Spanish Pullmantur Cruises, is the second new customer calling at Kiel this year for the very first time. In addition to “Viking Sun”, Kiel expects the company’s “Viking Sky” to make her maiden call towards the end of the season on October 2nd.

The SEEHAFEN KIEL GmbH & Co. KG operates Kiel’s commercial port on behalf of the federal state capital Kiel, of which it is a 100% subsidiary. A total of three modern passenger terminals are available in close proximity to the city centre at Ostseekai, Norwegenkai and Schwedenkai.

In addition, cruise ships can tie up at Berth 1 in the Ostuferhafen. During the 2018 season Kiel expects 165 visits by 32 different cruise ships. By the end of the season, it is expected that some 600,000 cruise ship passengers will have embarked on or disembarked from cruise ships.
