A ruptured fuel line has forced the "Halunder Jet" on Wednesday afternoon (July 18, 2012) to return to Cuxhaven. The catamaran was with about 500 people on board en route to Helgoland, as a leaking fuel line led to heavy smoke to an exhaust pipe. Immediately, the captain was headed back towards "Alte Liebe " jetty in Cuxhaven, where crew members and passengers were evacuated. Forces of the Fire Department took down parts of a fuel-soaked insulation and got the situation under control.
