Water Level in River Ems too low due to East Wind

Papenburg, 06.06.2002 - The passage of the new cruise liner made in Papenburg down the River Ems must be postponed by at least 24 hours. According to the latest weather forecasts the water level in the river will not be high enough due to east wind. These unfavourable weather conditions will lead to an insufficiently high tide. The next attempt for the Brilliance of the Seas to travel down the River Ems to Eemshaven (Netherlands) is likely to take place on Sunday night. It will probably be decided on Saturday, 8 June whether the passage on Sunday evening may go as planned.
