In the North Sea, the Dutch Navy and its partners are therefore practising mine clearance in the Wadden Sea. The Sandy Coast 2021 exercise will bring together 15 ships and 600 soldiers to train appropriate procedures in the sea area north of the Wadden Islands. The Dutch units involved include the minesweeper <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Zierikzee<\/span>the submarine auxiliary vehicle <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Mercuur<\/span> and the diver rescue boat <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Hydra<\/span>. With their high volume of traffic, harbour entrances are particularly at risk. \"Mine clearance is an important task for the Royal Navy and its partners,\" said Frigate Captain Peter Baars, Sandy Coast exercise leader. \"Commercial shipping and fishing still have to deal with the dangers of explosives on the seabed and in harbour entrances.\"<br \/>\nThe Dutch Wadden Sea offers a very special environment. The many shallows coupled with strong currents, extremely dynamic seabed conditions and frequently changing weather conditions place high demands on the skills of the crews. The first weeks of the exercise are therefore characterised by cooperation at sea. By the end of Sandy Costs 21, the demands will have increased steadily. The highlight will be intensive cooperation with local and regional safety authorities in the Eemshaven on the north-east coast of the country. Teams of divers and security soldiers will then be deployed together with explosive ordnance disposal experts from the Dutch military. The Sandy Coast exercise will continue until 10 September.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13134\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13134\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo.jpg\" alt=\"HNLMS Mercuur\" width=\"1500\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo.jpg 1500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo-300x149.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo-1024x507.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo-768x380.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo-1080x535.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo-750x372.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-23-Sandy-Coast-1-mfo-1140x565.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">HNLMS Mercuur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Text: mb; Photo: Koninklijke Marine<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auch 76 Jahre nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs liegen noch viele hochexplosive \u00dcberbleibsel am Boden der europ\u00e4ischen Meere.
