Ferry left Cologne enroute to Moselle

Fri Jan 23 10:27:45 CET 2026 Timsen

The 'Fritz Middelanis' has been sold by the Hitdorf ferry company, bringing a long chapter in Rhine shipping history to an end. The ferry, which once operated between Leverkusen and Cologne, has left the port of Niehl. It was picked up on Nov 5t, 2025, being sold to the Kolb family's ferry company in Briedern on the Moselle, which offers boat tours. The ferry was last located off Andernach one day after its departure, with the last AIS transmission on Nov 6 in Koblenz. Prior to this, the vessel had been lying broken down in basin three of the Niehl for months. It is no longer permitted to operate as a ferry. In its final months of service between Hitdorf and Langel, the "Fritz Middelanis" frequently broke down due to malfunctions. There were repeated problems with the electro-hydraulic control system of the propulsion units.

Ferry damaged in allision

Thu Feb 06 10:19:41 CET 2020 Timsen

The 'Fritz Middelanis' was withdrawn from the service Colonia-Langel and Leverkusen-Hitdorf on Feb 5, 2020, after one propeller was damaged in the allision with a tree floating on the Rhine. One blade was bent, and the ship could not continue its service until repairs were carried out. The propeller was exchanged, but due to the strong river currents which bring along much drift good, the ferry was expected to return to service only on Feb 7 at midday at the earliest when another situation assessment was to be carried out.
