The MS HELGOLAND will carry ca 1,200 passengers in the summer and ca. 840 passengers in the winter, because the outdoor areas of the ship will not be usable. In addition, the MS HELGOLAND is a German mail ship and will carry post and packages to the island. We will get to another aspect of the ship, which is quite intriguing, later on - namely the fact that the MS HELGOLAND will also carry up to 10 half-size freight containers, three of which are reefers.

Moving into the production hall, we see that the ship has been sectioned. The marks on the supports indicate sections of the hull being worked on (in the picture below, we see Section VII).
