Die Berlin wird ein Seenotrettungskreuzer (SK) der Deutschen Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger (DGzRS) der neuen 28-m-Klasse. Sie soll die in Laboe stationierte Berlin, das Typschiff der 27,5-m-Klasse ablösen.[1]
Ausstattung
BearbeitenDer Kreuzer ähnelt im Design der 46-m- und der 36,5-m-Klasse der DGzRS, hat aber ein festes Tochterboot. Kreuzer und Tochterboot wurden als Selbstaufrichter konzipiert und aus seewasserbeständigem Aluminium gefertigt. Anders als die 27,5-m-Klasse wird der Kreuzer von nur zwei Motoren und Propellern angetrieben und hat keinen offenen Fahrstand. Außerdem wird er mit einem Bugstrahlruder (75 kW bei 1800/min), einer Feuerlöschanlage mit einer Leistung von 4000 l/min, einem Schlepphaken, LED-Suchscheinwerfern, einem Bordhospital, Wohnräumen für die Besatzung sowie modernster Funk- und Navigationstechnik ausgerüstet werden. Die Reichweite beträgt bis zu 800 Seemeilen.
Geschichte
BearbeitenDer Auftrag zum Bau der ersten drei Einheiten dieser Klasse wurde im Oktober 2013 an die Fassmer-Werft in Berne vergeben.[2] Die Kiellegung findet voraussichtlich noch 2015 statt, die Finanzierung soll unter anderem durch eine Spendenaktion in der Stadt Berlin erfolgen.[1]
Am 9.10.2015 Trafen sich Berlins Bürgermeister Michael Müller und Michael Müller, Vormann der Berlin, zur Übergabe der Gedenkmüntze für die Kiellegung des neuen Sk Berlin. [3]
Stationierung
BearbeitenAb dem Jahreswechsel 2016/2017 soll die Berlin in Laboe stationiert werden.[1]
Namensgebung
BearbeitenDas Schiff wird nach seinem Vorgänger benannt um die enge Verbundenheit mit der Stadt Berlin zu dokumentieren.
Die DGzRS-interne Bezeichnung des Kreuzers lautet SK 36, das Tochterboot hat die interne Bezeichnung TB 40.
