This incident happened in the Port of Hamburg on the Ferry “Tollerort” on line 68 bringing some Airbus Plant employees to work in the morning. According to the Police three people sustained minor injuries, i.e. cuts from shards of the broken window. The ferry, which is part of the Hamburg public transportation system, was never in peril and moored at a terminal where the passengers could disembark. The injured were treated by a doctor of the public transportation operator. One was treated as outpatient at the hospital (everything covered by insurance). One lady, who got soaked and also sustained cuts on her hands, went to work after receiving treatment from the operator’s doctor. The glass panes are supposed to withstand such stress and this has never happened before, which is why the incident is now under thorough investigation by the operator and the authorities concerned.
Such weather conditions are not that uncommon in Hamburg during winter. The harbor ferries – which run services like common city buses – are built to withstand those conditions. That’s also why they are operating in such weather conditions. It’s the first time that a window failed on those ferries.\r To get an idea here the schedule of this ferry line #68\r Teufelsbrück dep.: 5.25 5.33 5.:39 …\r Airbus (ferry pier) arr.: 5.32 5.40 5.46 … \r Thus a 7 min trip across the river Elbe with 2 boats running parallel in opposite directions. The schedule is adapted to the working hours of Airbus.\r The captain (no other crew on those ferries) did not notice the incident. And as the ferry was really close to the pier anyway it stopped there as usual and the passengers got off-board. At this point of the (short) trip of this ferry, the passengers would also normally have started to get out of their seats towards the exit.\r The man in front of the window was only lightly injured. And was treated by the medical department of the Airbus factory this ferry does serve.
Everyone’s saying ‘why the delayed reaction’, but if your sitting there and the ships riding those waves and something spectacular and random as this happens, your going to take a moment to process this. * window smashes* – Did that just happen? – Can I even stand up with the ship listing like this another wave hits – ok grab my stuff, – move move move
Surprised they don’t use a Portuguese Bridge style on the bow. That would involve installation of a rounded and sloped half wall about four feet tall or so and stretching across the beam of the ship and about five feet in front of the now broken windows to absorb and direct breaking wave energy upward in cases like this. Glad everyone was ok.
We’re all here to see how many other people are talking about the reactions! Ive never been in this situation but I would think Id react the same way. Water crashes in, you stare and wait to see whats happening next. Is getting up and running your BEST option, is another wave coming, will the boat stay afloat. Truly it was a moment of calculation rather than delay!!!!
A bit weird should go over the engineering specifications, did the front brace windows have polymer required for stopping shattering, do they use plastic…. windows. Secondly was their a sensor transmission line to deploy barricaded front windows if the storm is over x, or it can just be engineered to take the impact but has to be slightly altered. Alternative ly you can do a cheap.thing and deploy metal impact screens which take.the impact of the wave first… hmm meh
