Passenger ship suffered water ingress
On Jan 4, 2026, at approximately 1:45 p.m.,the fire department in Stuggart was alerted to the 'Wilhelmina', which was in danger of sinking on the Neckar River, while moored to a pontoon. The vessel was filling with water due to a leak which caused the ship to list and threatened it to capsize. Extensive measures by the fire department were necessary to secure the vessek. As a first step, the ship was secured to the bank with its own mooring lines to prevent it from turning into the Neckar's shipping channel. Simultaneously, several pumps were used to remove the water. Further investigation revealed a seawater valve through which the water had entered the hull. Closing the valve stopped the water ingress. During the pumping operations, the water of the Neckar was regularly checked for leaking fluids. No leaks were detected at any time. Volunteer firefighters remained on site to monitor the hull for any further water ingress. The fire department's operations concluded around 5:30 p.m. Report with photos: https://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/gallery.feuerwehreinsatz-in-stuttgart-schiff-auf-dem-neckar-droht-zu-sinken-feuerwehr-pumpt-wasser-ab.7c68ec7a-099f-4720-9d0d-5be72b9520b1.html
