Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei Fohr Amrum (WDR) has returned to Neptun Werft for a double-ended ferry as it looks to renew its fleet.

The German company will take delivery of the new ship in spring 2018, when the 2,268-gt Rungholt (built 1992) will be offered for sale.

TradeWinds understands the new vessel will cost around EUR 20m ($21.8m).

The newbuilding will operate in the Wadden sea between the mainland port of Dagebull and the islands of Fohr and Amrum.
