The vessel Götheborg of Sweden has been sailing successfully for close to two decades. After participation in the Gothenburg 400-year jubilee, she has been docked at her home berth, Pier 4 in Gothenburg, for a comprehensive inspection.
The board of Rederi Götheborg AB has made the decision to proceed with extensive inspections and maintenance throughout the upcoming summer. Consequently, any sailing operations for the year 2024 are not possible.
The choice to maintain the vessel in Gothenburg offers a unique opportunity to expand public access. This decision not only benefits the vessel itself but also presents an advantageous prospect for the residents of Gothenburg and the numerous tourists who visit the city.
On the 25th of April, off the coast of France just after 4pm, a distress call was sent by the MRCC regarding a sailing vessel that had lost its rudder and was drifting. Being the closest ship to the sailing boat, Götheborg answered the call.
We are looking for guides to work in our team and show the ship to the public. Since our guides need to be able to speak both swwedish and english, the rest of this news will follow in Swedish.
Maritimt i Väst invites you to this spring's rig seminar, which will be held in Swedish by Jens Langert in Götheborg of Sweden's tar-scented premises at Eriksberg, Gothenburg. As usual, Maritimt i Väst offers lunch!
