Capella to Holmön and the work with the jetty in finalizing phase
Yesterday Capella came to Holmön. The work with the docking site is almost finished and when the concrete in the dolphins has cured it will be possible to begin to use the docking site next week. A dolphin is a man-made marine structure that is forced into the sea  bottom and extends above the water surface and has no connection to shore. Its purpose is to support mooring of ships. During the finalization of the docking site, the staff will practice to manoeuvre Capella.

Capella will also assist during the final part of the jetty project. Besides the docking site, the mached steel boards will be supported with special concrete.

If the running-in period works, Capella with come into traffic soon. Helena Elisabeth is expected to be ready at the wharf before the Ascension Day long weekend.
