    A severe autumn gale system over the western Baltic Sea disrupted the itinerary of the Norwegian Sun: The vessel, operated by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), was unable to depart Warnemünde on Sunday evening due to adverse weather conditions. Northwest gusts reaching gale force 9 on the Beaufort scale made navigating the narrow Warnemünde sea canal hydrodynamically hazardous. With gusts peaking at up to 80 km/h, the vessel's thrusters and rudder authority were insufficient to safely counter heavy lateral drift toward seawalls and breakwaters. Prioritizing safety, the bridge team kept the ship securely moored at Pier P8.
