Wreckage drifted onto beach
On the evening of Oct 9, the wheelhouse of the ' Sea Dagger' drifted onto the beach near Hörnum upon Sylt island, after it broke lose from the hull. The municipality and the State Agency for Coastal Protection, National Parks and Marine Conservation must now take care of salvaging the cabin. The wheelhouse on the beach, however, did not pose a danger. It weighs a good ton and is almost ten meters long. Debris, insulation material, and debris were scattered around the wreckage in Hörnum. The recovery owill take some time. An initial attempt to tow the wreckage from the beach with a tractor failed. It was suspected that more parts of the ship could wash ashore in the coming days. Tank containers were also on board, some of which fell overboard. They presumably contained fuel. According to a spokeswoman for the Maritime Accident Command, there was no environmental damage. Already on Oct 8, two of the tanks containers had washed ashore on Rantum. One of the tanks was still two-thirds full and now needed to be properly disposed of.

Wheelhouse removed from the beach
The wheelhouse of the 'Sea Dagger', which washed up on Sylt a few days ago, has been salvaged from the beach at Hörnum on OCt 13. The cabin was moved from the beach behind the dune near a campsite in the south of the island using three tractors and a wheel loader.The salvage operation took two hours. Employees from the municipality of Hörnum, the spa administration, and the ISTS were involved. The municipality of Hörnum was responsible because the wreckage was lying on municipal property. However, the owner remained liable. The reason why the ´vessel got into distress and sank was not yet known. The investigation was therefore ongoing. Six tank containers, each with a capacity of 1,000 liters, went overboard during the accident. The tug "Nordic" and the fishery protection vessel "Seefalke" salvaged these containers and brought them ashore.

Ship which rescued crew suffered damage itself
On Sep 26 at 5:10 p.m., the Bremen Rescue Radio station of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) at the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) in Bremen received a faint "Mayday" over the radio, which was also picked up by the Danish coastal radio station Lyngby Radio. Multiple attempts to radio the distressed 'Sea Dagger' remained unanswered. The offshore supply vessel 'Acta Auriga' (IMO: 9822815) was near the Dan Tysk wind farm at the time. It managed to contact the crew of the 'Sea Dagger'. The supply vessel immediately moved to the position, maintained contact with the ship and informed the German Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (DGzRS) of the ship's position, approximately 38 nautical miles west of Sylt. The MRCC alerted the Amrum based lifeboat 'Ernst Meier-Hedde', which immediately proceeded to the position. Other vessels in the area and an oil reconnaissance aircraft of the German Naval Air Force, operating on behalf of the German Central Command for Maritime Emergencies, also headed to the scene. The m/v "Godøysund Ekspressen' (MMSI: 257263700) which was sailling with the 'Sea Dagger', took over the crew from the sinking ship. During the rescue operation, the 15-meter-long vessel suffered a propeller damage, leaving it with limited maneuverability. The ship with the castaways on board diverted to the port of Esbjerg. The MRCC Bremen of the DGzRS contacted the Danish Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC), which deployed a Danish rescue boat from the Rømø station. The 'Ernst Meier- Hedde', which was still en route to the area, was then released from the operation.
