With the handover of the GORCH FOCK to the German Navy, Lürssen has successfully completed the refurbishment of the sail training ship after around two years in the shipyard.

The Lürssen shipyard proudly announced at the weekend - and rightly so - that the Gorch Fock is back in service today.

Today, the Gorch Fock set sail for Wilhelmshaven and headed down the Weser towards Helgoland. Lürssen took over responsibility for the restoration of this ship in October 2019 and initially moved the barque to Berne. In the spring of this year, the ship was successfully launched and towed to Lemwerder for further outfitting with the help of tugs.
