Baltwreck - expedition UG Oceanograf

As part of the Baltwreck project, on 26 January 2026, the research vessel UG Oceanograf returned to the vicinity of the Stuttgart, a ship sunk in 1943, to continue work on the development of bioremediation technology for a seabed contaminated by fuel that had leaked from damaged tanks. The aim of this research expedition was to assess the effectiveness of the applied methods and the use of underwater drones in the study of shipwrecks and pollution. Despite difficult weather conditions and other challenges, the expedition was completed successfully, and analysis of the collected samples is ongoing.
