BaltWreck project - ongoing work

Today's (5.11.2024) BaltWreck partnership meeting was held online and concerned discussions on Work Package 2 and 3 (WP 2 and WP 3).

Prof. Jacek Bełdowski from the University of Gdansk, leader of WP 2, presented the wreck selection procedure (wrecks considered include Stuttgart, Steuben, Franken, some wrecks near Świnoujście, etc.). The Lithuanian partners (Nature Research Centre) will propose possible locations for the wrecks in the Lithuanian marine area. GEOMAR will enable this choice to be explored in the German maritime area. GEOMAR as well as the University of Gdansk may also investigate Polish and Lithuanian locations. A special meeting concerning the final decision on the investigated wrecks should be organised soon by the project leader.

As part of Work Package 3 (WP3), the project leader, the Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences, is starting laboratory experiments with aerobic bacteria. The main focus will be on methods to deliver oxygen appropriately for pilot activities. JT Ship Service (partner no. 7) is discussing the experiment plan with the University of Gdansk, while Gdynia Maritime University (partner no. 4)

The next partner online meeting - December 3rd.
