When I spoke with Guldin in December, after the first phase of the pilot ended, he sketched a thick vision of what this work does not look. Robotic crawler equipped with cameras, powerful lights, sonars, and advanced graber systems can be used more efficiently than platform-based cranes, and can work around the clock. With remote vehicles, dump sites can also be dealt with several sides simultaneously, it is impossible to do something from a certain platform on the surface. And armament experts can care for most of the work from the offices in Hamburg, rather than spending days in the sea.
This reality can still be a small route, but despite some issues – such as poor water visibility and sometimes insufficient lighting, which made it difficult to operate distance through live images – initial Most of the technology in the tests worked broadly according to the plan. Wolfgang Sacharman, a naval architect company, says, “There is definitely a place for improvement, but fundamentally works, and the idea that you can identify under water and directly in transport crates Can store. ” Project by the Ministry of Environment of Germany. It is expected that the coming months start creating and designing floating disposal features, and starting explosives for some time in 2026, says Socharman.
Stay away?
When I visited the Seatra Bajra on a clear day but a clear day in the last October, I spoke with experienced Munishan-Aasad specialist Michael Sheffer, who used to spend a month for a month in advance, who passed a month before On stage in the Hafcrag, on the German coast, carefully cracked on heavy wood. Crate was cooked in mud and mud and was packed by Nazi Germany with a 20 mm cannon. That morning, they were already examining about 5.8 tonnes of 20-mm round, caught by mechanical grabars and underwater robots by silent and then placed on the board on stage.
The Sheffer has worked as a monk-athest expert for decades, which he started while serving in the German army. ,
“I have been in a job for 42 years now, and I never got the opportunity to work on such a project,” he told me. “In fact the pilot project is developed and researched here, it is worth its weight in gold for the future.”
Guldin, while the results of the pilot are equally optimistic, warns that there are still boundaries how much can be done from far away with technology. Hard, dangerous and sensitive work will sometimes still require human expertise on hands, at least for the future. “There are restrictions to do a complete remote work of clearance on Cephlor. Certainly, diver and EOD [explosive ordnance disposal] Experts and experts on site, they will never go away, no way. ,
If the initial cleaning effort proves to be successful, it is expected that the technology can find the finished buyers elsewhere-and not only around Baltic. Well in the 1970sTerrorists from all over the world turned to the oceans as a dumping ground for older sages.
But since there is no money in provoking older aerial bombs, any bounce in the underwater monument disposal will depend on major investments in environmental treatment, which is rarely only. “We can speed up the process and be more efficient, of course,” Guldenin says. “There is only one thing, if you bring more resources in the area, it also means that someone will have to pay for it. Do we have a government in the future that is willing to pay for it? I have my doubts, to be honest. ,
“Two weeks ago I spoke to the ambassador of Bahamas,” says Socharman. “He said,” You are more than the reception and to clean everything that drowned in the British 70s, the Bahamas became independent shortly before. ” But they hope that you will not only take technology, but will take money. For that reason, you always have to see who is ready to finance it. However, find out the correct financial backers, and there will be a lot of possible tasks worldwide, says Socharman. “There is definitely no shortage of dumped ammunition.”
