Die Nordsee hat im vergangenen Jahr die höchsten Temperaturen seit Beginn der regelmäßigen Messungen erreicht. Auch die Ostsee hat sich weiter erwärmt. Aus den aktuellen Daten des Bundesamtes für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) geht hervor, dass die durchschnittlichen Wassertemperaturen von Nord- und Ostsee im vergangenen Jahr deutlich über dem langjährigen Mittel lagen. Das BSH ermittelt seit 1968 mittlere Temperaturwerte und Anomalien und erstellt seit 1995 wöchentliche Analysen. Aus den zusammengetragenen Daten geht hervor, dass die Nordsee mit durchschnittlich 12,1 Grad den höchsten jemals gemessenen Wert erreichte. Die Oberflächentemperatur stieg um bis zu 1,5 Grad über das langjährige Mittel im...

Rheinmetall supplies new ship simulators for naval training The defence and technology group Rheinmetall handed over the first of seven simulation systems for the Naval Operations School (MOS) in Bremerhaven in 2024. The so-called Training Equipment for Training Navigation (AATN) is intended to enable decentralised, on-site training. In addition to Bremerhaven, further facilities are being built in Flensburg (MSM), Wilhelmshaven, Kiel, Eckernförde and Warnemünde. The ceremonial handover of the third ship simulator in Warnemünde took place in January 2025. The AATN facility enables interdisciplinary nautical training for all ranks and careers. This includes bridge management, communication and basic training. The event on the grounds of the Hohe Düne base was well attended and took place in a relaxed atmosphere.
