Exceptional manoeuvres

It is fascinating to see our ocean liners in the harbour when they form the backdrop for music festivals, leave one of our two large construction docks or sail backwards across the Ems towards the North Sea. Thousands of ship enthusiasts often watch the manoeuvres at the shipyard and on the banks of the Ems. You can usually find the dates for these events on our social media channels! Please note that the dates can only be announced at very short notice due to the dependence on weather and tides.

Frequently Asked Questions

When and where can I find out the exact dates of a river conveyance?

We usually publish the dates on this website and our social media channels!

However, please note that the conveyance dates can only be announced at very short notice due to various factors (including wind and water levels in the Ems). There may also be changes at very short notice.

Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to make sure you don't miss any news.

Why is a river conveyance often postponed at short notice?

Whenever a river conveyance to the North Sea take place, we have to consider several factors like the weather, wind and tides along the River Ems. That’s why a conveyance sometimes have to be postponed at short notice. We will keep you informed about our current plans on this website and on our social media channels Facebook and Instagram.

Why does a conveyance not always take place at the weekend or in the afternoon?

The scheduling of our conveyances is determined by nature. The difficult manoeuvre can only be pulled off in good weather conditions and with high water levels along the River Ems.

Can I take part in a sea trial or ems conveyance?

Due to security concerns, visitors unfortunately cannot participate in a sea trial or ems conveyance. Navigating the river Ems is a highly challenging manoeuvre that sometimes even has to be postponed at short notice due to unsuitable tide and weather conditions.

Where can I park my mobile home during the river conveyance?

You can park your mobile home on a public parking lot. You can get more tips from Papenburg Marketing GmbH.
