Folgendes Rundschreiben des Freundeskreises dieses herrlichen Schiffes ist herausgegeben worden: "Good news about the s.s. Rotterdam. The most complex part of the removal of asbestos has been finished and the refurbishment of the ship can begin. But the works on teak decks, interior, steelwork and the electric installation take more time than was expected. This means that the s.s. Rotterdam will come to her homeport later. Fortunately the owner, Rederij De Rotterdam BV, has chosen to accept no less than a good quality of the restoration. We are happy that maintaining style and dignity of the Rotterdam still is one of the priorities of the company. Following the new technical planning the Rotterdam will be towed to Rotterdam in May 2008, where she will be finished and fitted out for exploitation. A new date for the inauguration of the ship will be made public later." Weitere Infos zum zukünftigen Hotelbetrieb gibt es hier (Zimmer ab EUR 85): http://www.derotterdam.com/ Beste Grüße - Jan
