Another incident recently occurred at Lake Berzdorfer: a passenger ship called Ems Berzdorf ran near the shore, which caused some excitement. On Thursday evening there was this predicament when the captain made a tax error and the rear of the ship swung out of the water. The rear unfortunately got stuck, which the passengers did not frighten. All 26 passengers were safely brought ashore by the fire brigade and the captain was identified by the police. After honorable efforts by the emergency services, the 85 -ton ship could be fleed again half an hour later.
