Föhr, Beach Nourishment
Beach Nourishment at the southwest beach of the island Föhr
This beach nourishment was more difficult than usual, because of the long sailing distance of approx. 82 km between the winning area located on the west coast of Sylt, and the coupling point. The quantity reclaimed was 200,000 m3 through a sinker line, with a pumping distance of nearly 6,000 m between our unit Embla R and the designated area at the beach. Due to the environmentally sensitive area between the islands, our vessels had to work very carefully.
The units Embla R, Gylfe R, Rimfaxe R, Loke R, and Sleipner R completed the job impeccably.
