MS Yellow is transported from Lake Zug to Lake Biel

Ship transport with EMIL EGGER Logistics

The passenger ship MS Yellow was transported from Zug to Sugiez by EMIL EGGER using heavy goods transport.

The wheelhouse was separated from the hull to facilitate transport. In a night-time operation, a convoy of three lorries transported the ship from the port of Zug to the motorway and via Bern to Sugiez and the Broye Canal. In future, it will sail on Lake Biel under a new name and in a new colour as the MS Jolie.
