The crew of the Travemünde volunteer station of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) is called to a disabled dinghy. The boat later capsizes in the shipping channel – a large ferry is approaching. For the sea rescuers of the ERICH KOSCHUBS, a race against time begins. In Schilksee, a person is missing, and the sea rescuers of the local DGzRS station immediately join the search.
