REMARCO tested the SeaTerra Crawler at dumping site north of Spiekeroog under North Sea conditions

REMARCO partner SeaTerra joined a RV Heincke cruise to the dumping site north of Spiekeroog where thousands of tons of conventional munition are still expected. Here the remote operated video-controlled crawler equipped with magnetic sensors and water sampling devices was deployed to take bottom-near water samples according to a survey grid at areas connected with high magnetic anomalies.
