Two German warships have moored at the Port of Malaga this Tuesday morning (25 June) with its crew members choosing the city to enjoy a short break The vessels are the M-1064 Grömitz minehunter warship which is usually based in the city of Kiel being just a few metres from the Plaza de la Marina with a maximum speed of 18 knots and equipped with a variety of weapons such as cannons and missile launchers Also passing through the Port of Malaga is a ship of the United States Navy which is moored in the security zone of the Levante dock The 230-metre-long ship is used for military Its crew is made up of a combination of Navy professionals and civilians from the Military Sealift Command This is usually made up of 19 officers and 231 sailors who now have a few days of rest in Malaga city before the next mission and is assigned to the US Africa Command (Africom) area of operations to conduct missions in the Mediterranean and the waters around East Comentar es una ventaja exclusiva para registrados This weeks Incident Photo is of German Navy mine hunter M106 Grömitz from back in February, 2007.  Cargo Law tells us; German Navy  Type 332 Frankenthal class mine hunter M106 Grömitz  (built 1994) based in Kiel — will remain for some time on the rocks where it grounded in the night of Feb 21 off the harbor Floræ on way to Bergen While hull remained so far undamaged in the grounding the bunker fuel will have to be taken off before salvage This probably will have to be undertaken by a sheerleg as a tug could cause hull damage when towing the ship off the rocks where Grömitz  is stuck fast with its bow pointing to the sky Cause of the grounding was said to be a navigational error but the small island could possible not be detected by radar in snowy conditions Ship was underway with other NATO-units within a mine hunting exercise She was expected in Bremerhaven the forthcoming weekend but this is very unsure now This, along with other incidents involving maritime and aviation transport can be found at Cargolaw.com Sign up for gCaptain’s newsletter and never miss an update and updates delivered daily straight to your inbox A Swedish probe found no conclusive evidence to suggest that a Chinese ship had deliberately dragged its anchor to damage two Baltic Sea cables Sweden's Accident Investigation Authority said on Tuesday though a separate investigation remains under way The Estonian navy detained and boarded a Russia-bound oil tanker on an EU sanctions list on Friday accusing it of sailing illegally without a valid country flag has sunk off the Egyptian resort town of Hurghada with 45 people on board The incident occurred around 1,000 meters offshore during an hour-long..

Battenfeld is currently changing manufacturers "Our new cooking robot has a larger range of products and can produce for 20 hours at a time That allows us to prepare fresh food at night for the next day We can build up three mainstays with our new partner act as a producer for the surrounding area and stock a delivery service." The more mainstays the safer the economic concept - an increasingly important aspect given the rising costs of goods the minimum wage per hour rose from EUR 10.45 to EUR 12 VAT on food is expected to return to 19 per cent in 2024 Only a certain percentage of the increased costs can be passed on to guests prompting Battenfeld to cut corners where possible occupied rooms are not cleaned daily and fridges in the living room replace lavishly stocked breakfast buffets "This is another test balloon we are experimenting with in Grömitz but we are pursuing a bakery-shop idea in the Surf Rescue Club." Guests serve themselves depending on their tastes and pay on a "scan and go" basis Digitalisation helps cut back on staff and prevents food from going to waste. Around 12 to 18 million tonnes of food end up in rubbish bins across Germany every year Hotel buffets account for a significant share of such waste Battenfeld intends rolling out the Lieblingsplatz concept as a franchise "We are currently thinking about a licensing model to pave the way for quite a few great Lieblingsplatz hotels we can get independent partners to become active 'Lieblingsplatz' hotels." The departure from a classic reception desk "Around 90 per cent of our guests at the Surf Rescue Club book online and receive the access code to their room in this way 'do you have a reservation' and 'how many keys would you like' Staff give tips on the surrounding area or perhaps planning an e-bike tour." An approach that is as individual as possible is at the heart of Battenfeld's philosophy "I want to digitise what works and remain passionate about hosting guests We combine the best of three worlds in the Lieblingsplatz hotels namely the reliability and service of hotels with the community of hostels and the personal touch of Airbnb where local hosts provide travellers with insider tips." laid the foundation for his brand by opening "Lieblingsplatz mein Strandhotel" in Sankt Peter-Ording in 2013 the hotel manager worked for Marriott and A-Rosa among others The Lieblingsplatz group has 12 hotels in Germany and Austria opened in August on the dunes in Grömitz in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region The BellaBot service robot has been making its rounds at the Hafenrestaurant in Grömitz for around two months the workload for the service staff has been greatly reduced and the acquisition costs will soon be amortized Suggestions & comments to info@food-service.de Traditional skippers and sportsmen are on the waterThe major German sailing event is known all over the world and is a firm fixture in the local regatta calendar: Kiel Week takes place at the end of June Athletes from countless nations meet in the north of Schleswig-Holstein's state capital The area around the Olympic harbour in Schilksee is transformed into a lively epicentre where sailors of all classes prepare their boats and themselves for the races The "Kiwo" is also one of the most traditional regatta weeks It has been organised since the end of the 19th century The folk festival along Kiel's quay walls was added later and has continued to develop over the last few decades but also experience a day trip on one of the many traditional ships or set off on a multi-day cruise The maritime highlight is the windjammer parade on the second Saturday of the festival week in which dozens of tall ships and traditional sailing ships historic steamships and hundreds of sailing yachts take part Kiel Week traditionally ends with a fireworks display - another goosebump moment for Kiel Week fans 23456to the website2nd Hamburg Ancora Yacht Festival Neustadt- Trade fair with a sea breezePhoto: YACHT/B ScheurerThe next festival will take place from 12 to 14 May 2023 Information on the programme and how to get there on the trade fair websiteIn mid-May when the winter storerooms are empty and the Baltic Sea shows its friendly face the Ancora Marina is in a state of emergency for three days Under new management and undoubtedly favoured by the Corona-related lack of boat shows in previous years the event has developed into a premiere festival More and more boatyards and dealers are coming to Neustadt in Holstein to present their new products this will also be the case in 2023 and will keep the appeal of Germany's largest in-water boat show high there is always a certain dependency on the weather outdoors there is no better place to experience yachts than in their element This and the favourable stand prices for exhibitors have made the Hamburg Ancora Yacht Festival extremely popular Linjett from Sweden and Aira from Holland - to name just a few examples - brands that have never been represented here before came for the first time in 2022 The list ranges from the entry-level to the luxury segment And the newcomers all want to be back in 2023 without exception really: it is the only boat show that offers a sea breeze and a view of the Baltic Sea Anyone who wants to sail their own boat into Neustadt Bay to experience the fair should therefore book a berth early The Ancora Marina itself does not have any free berths and the neighbouring harbours are also full because many of the Ancora's permanent berth holders have to relocate for short periods The majority of visitors therefore come by car and park in specially designated areas just a few minutes' walk away Almost all equipment brands and dealers will be present in tents around the harbour area There are also informative specialist lectures and workshops in Hall H1 to the west of the jetties through which the exhibition centre can be reached To the east of the "Arborea" hotel the festival offers taster sails and live demonstrations on the water on the event area next to the show stage YACHT and Delius Klasing Verlag will of course also be there live to report on the events AndrewsUseful information on sailing in Sweden is available from the cruiser section thereOn Utö off the coast of Stockholm you can experience the many facets of the Midsummer Festival - even if it is more crowded than you might expect The island is easy to reach by ferry from Stockholm making it popular with day trippers and short holidaymakers They flock to the island in droves and party hard The classic midsummer dance around the tree does not take place at the harbour but further inland on the island: Women and girls wear wreaths of flowers and everyone sings together Families meet on picnic blankets and in small restaurants the harbour is a place for real party fans: people party around the clock There are moorings to the east and west of the city Photo: Wolf Hansen/sailingpix.deThe 22-sqm warping cruiser "Finikette" from Schlank-&-Rank initiator Georg Milz off LemkenhafenFehmarn has become home to many classic archipelago cruisers whose owners have been inviting all kindred spirits to meet here every two years since 2009 In addition to classic wooden stern cruisers such as the 15s all equally slim and slender boats are welcome: the three-man keelboat Drachen Sailing takes place between the Orther Reede the Fehmarnsund Bridge and Heiligenhafen according to different handicaps Classic wooden boats are rated according to the classic race rating system The event came about after the centenary of the archipelago cruisers was celebrated in Sweden in summer 2007 The Lemkenhafen owner of the 40 square metre skerry cruiser "Aurora" had visited the festival with his boat and put the idea into practice to organise something similar at home The first meeting was a complete success and the participants partied well into the night and the people of Lemkenhafen now call the event their summer party medieval markets: at the beginning of August the Hanseatic town of Visby on Gotland is turned upside down largely preserved city walls and defence towers it is the ideal backdrop for one of the largest medieval spectacles in Europe A good 40,000 visitors come to the Gothic capital during which yacht crews can moor right in the centre of the action Photo: Jens Köhler/Störtebeker Festspiele GmbHThe backdrop also includes a fleet of ships floating on the Bodden which reaches right up to the open-air stage Störtebeker also has to fight battles hereEven the most hardened theatre fanatics will love this: when it's playtime on Rügen there's no way around the Great Jasmund Bodden dozens of actors and horses bring the Middle Ages to life at dusk a different adventure of the legendary pirate Klaus Störtebeker is presented to the audience on the natural stage near Ralswiek But one thing is always certain: pirate Störtebeker also known as the "Robin Hood of the seas" An entire village in the centre of Rügen serves as the festival location The performances are elaborately staged spectacles Pyrotechnics provide explosions and fireworks the heroes clash in jousting matches and sword duels But gentle ballads and love scenes are also offered to audiences travelling from all over Germany the open-air theatre in Ralswiek is one of the largest in Europe millions of spectators have enjoyed the magic of open-air seafaring cinema is therefore worth a diversion on the summer cruise Advance sales start in autumn of the previous year Tickets for the front rows currently cost 40 euros while tickets for the back rows and the dress rehearsal cost around 15 euros The play will be performed in 2023 from 24 June to 9 September KraussThe supporting programme with Open Ship as well as information and photos of the ships can be found on the website of the Flensburg Museum HarbourOfficially the regatta is an "International Meeting of Historic Sailing Vessels" The crews of the 100 to 120 ships have no serious regatta ambitions: in the end but the runner-up who gets a bottle of rum One of the most traditional jazz festivals on the Baltic coast takes place on the island north of Lolland towards the end of July and beginning of August big names on the scene from home and abroad have been playing at "Femø Jazz" In addition to the concerts on the festival grounds the programme includes a street parade and a masterclass where up-and-coming musicians can showcase their talent Photo: Rick TomlinsonTjörn Runt's regatta field squeezes through the Kyrkesund on land there is a festival atmosphereAt its peak around 1,000 yachts squeezed across the regatta course which is reminiscent of an obstacle course Tjörn Runt's starting field has shrunk to around 200 boats It is sailed on the third Saturday in August in a clockwise direction around the island The course sometimes leads through very narrow passages such as Kyrkesund These not only ensure extreme concentration in the field the racing action in Kyrkesund is commented on by a presenter The Klädesholmen section of the course is also exciting where the sea is more open and there are many rocks and shallows lurking Pyrotechnic shows will soon be offered in every major town on the Baltic Sea during the season But probably no fireworks display is as enchanting as the spectacle that Grömitz puts on at the end of August on its almost 400 metre long pier "Baltic Sea in Flames" is the name of the event which attracts thousands from far and wide to the beach and the small hill above the harbour from where you can watch the 20-minute show accompanied by music If you are travelling by car rather than your own boat you should set off early - the crowds are now so big there are hardly any seats left in the beach bars and restaurants even though the rockets only light up the sky over Grömitz shortly before 11 pm Some pyro fans therefore bring their own drinks and snacks - and secure the best seats 300 to 500 metres north and south of the pier well in advance you can hardly take in the full dimensions of the fireworks which are fired sideways over the Baltic Sea 31 Jan 2021
