24 artillery missiles containing 480 kg of explosive neutralized experts from the Miner Divers Group of 13 trawlers on Wednesday. The unexploded explosions were discovered in the Gulf of Gdańsk during preparation for the construction of a floating LNG handling terminal.
Yesterday's neutralization is the finale of a fewer months of diving. – The missiles were gradually discovered by the employees of a private company that prepares the reservoir for the construction of the terminal. We were notified of the findings. We, in turn, attached each of the unexploded to the buoyant pontom, and then towed it to a place designated by the Maritime Office and Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Gdańsk – explains Lieutenant Wojciech Radziszewski, commander of the Miner Divers Group 13th Trolley Squadron. The first facilities were moved in the spring. In 1 place in the Gulf of Gdańsk, 32 artillery missiles of 210 mm totaled. Each containing 20 kg of explosive. A fewer weeks ago, it was decided to disable them.
The surgery began on Wednesday morning. It was then that 2 boats went out to sea with specialists from GNM. shortly the first minesmen came down at the watershed. – 3 pairs of divers were active in the task. They operated at a depth of up to 12 m, and their main task was to construct peculiar networks and plant explosives, which were then detonated by radio – explains Mr. The missiles were destroyed in turn – 16 at a time. After the detonation, the divers went underwater again to check the effects of their actions. Then it turned out that the detonation failed to destruct all the unexploded explosions. We neutralized 24 rounds. We will deal with the others at a different time – the officer says.
Such projects can only be implemented in good weather. For example, the condition of the sea should not exceed 2 degrees in the 10 - degree Douglas scale. As the divers themselves admit, it is besides better to conduct neutralization in autumn or winter for any reasons. “The transparency of the water in the Baltic is then greater than during warm months,” noted the commander of the GNM. But that is not the end. Neutralization is always a major logistics venture. safety zones should be designated in advance. Sometimes this involves evacuation of residents, always with a temporary ban on entering water on selected sections. Reason? “The force difference caused by the detonation can harm the interior organs of bathers,” explains kmdr pr. Grzegorz Lewandowski, spokesperson 8 Coast Defence Fleetswhich is subject to the 13th Tray Squadron. specified warnings are much easier to enforce outside the summertime period erstwhile less people are on the beaches.
Yesterday, no evacuation was necessary. However, under the supervision of the city defender and police, a section of the coast from the Stogs to Sobieshev went. Officers kept an eye out for a fewer hours so that no 1 would enter the Baltic Sea. Eventually, it didn't happen.
– Though it has been decades since the war ended, on the bottom of the sea, its remains are inactive found. Old faces, bombs, ammo. If they pose a threat to human life and safety of navigation, they are neutralised. This is done by miners from the 12th and 13th Trawler Squadrons. We can presume that they will have quite a few work in the close future. For example, due to the aforementioned construction of the gas terminal in the Gulf of Gdańsk. A powerful platform will be built about 3 km from the Polish coast. It will choice up from the tankers and then regasify the liquefied gas. The reservoirs of the installation will accommodate 170 1000 m3 of natural material, which will then flow to land through the offshore pipeline. The next step will be to distribute it around Poland utilizing a network of pipelines. The fuel from Gdańsk will besides go abroad. The terminal capacity should be 6.2 billion m3 of gas per year. The investment is to be put into service in 2028.
