Vessel Description
The Friesland is a passenger and vehicle ferry operated by Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei (W.D.R.), one of Germany's oldest ferry companies, serving the North Frisian Islands of Föhr and Amrum in the German North Sea (Schleswig-Holstein). Built in 1994, the vessel operates within the shallow tidal waters of the Wadden Sea (Wattenmeer), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, requiring a shallow draft suitable for the region's tidal flats.
The vessel provides an essential public transport and logistics link connecting the mainland port of Dagebüll with the islands of Föhr and Amrum, carrying passengers, vehicles, and freight. As part of the W.D.R. fleet, Friesland serves both local residents and tourists visiting the North Frisian island region.
Data Notice: Some specification fields (exact engine output, full electronics suite, and shipyard name) could not be independently verified from open-source records at the time of this profile. Users should cross-reference with official Lloyd's Register, Equasis, or W.D.R. fleet records for operational and regulatory purposes.
