According to NDR, fire investigators and police in Rostock harbour have largely completed their investigations into the wrecked coastal tanker "Annika". The Federal Bureau of Maritime Casualty Investigation (BSU) announced that the results will now be analysed and summarised in a report; however, it will probably take more than a year before the report is presented.

According to experts, this ship fire shows once again the dangers for the Baltic Sea ecosystem. All seven crew members have been recognised by the German...

The workhorse of the Leibnitz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), the research vessel "Elisabeth Mann Borgese", had sudden technical problems with the steering gear and stabilisers and had to be taken to the Peene shipyard in Wolgast for an unscheduled repair. The ship was built in 1986 at the former Kröger shipyard in Schacht-Audorf near Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein and the steering gear is still original. It was necessary to find specialists who were still familiar with the technology, as a retired shipbuilder had already been activated in the past who was still able to use a certain hand-polishing process.

Frigate Ex-"Karlsruhe": Blasting

The German Navy still needs its good old frigate "Karlsruhe" - as a test object for blasting tests.

The aim is to gain knowledge about the effects of explosive devices such as sea mines on a ship as a whole, but above all on the crew. Since it was decommissioned, the "Karlsruhe" has been prepared for this by installing countless sensors, among other things, and maintained at the necessary level. In particular, large parts of the propulsion systems are kept in operation and regularly...
