A total of 1.6 million tonnes of decommissioned weapons grenades and artillery and machine gun ammunition lie at the bottom of the Baltic and North Seas all these weapons were taken from German and Allied arsenals by the barge load and dumped in the Bay of Lübeck as part of German disarmament All these discarded weapons have serious consequences as the metal shells and casings of bombs and cartridges corrode and release explosives Carcinogens and mutagens end up in the water and in the food chain - in fish and mussels and eventually on our plates "The German government is investing EUR 100 million in environmental protection "We have to act now while the ammunition is still intact enough to be recovered." we need an approach that allows us to salvage and dispose of munitions on an industrial scale 24/7." The experience gained from this pilot project should lead to a safe overall concept for working on the high seas.  SeaTerra is responsible for recovering piles of ammunition from the seabed as well as boxes of unidentified ammunition "First we scan the area using magnetometers to collect data," said Guldin three ships equipped with special technology A vessel equipped with Dynamic Positioning (DP) also known as Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) acts as the main starting point for the salvage operation Vessels with DPS can hold a position without anchoring or mooring thanks to a computer-controlled system for automatic positioning we lower a camera and gripper system as well as a diving team to identify any ammunition that can be handled safely and can be put into baskets." A grenade Around 95 per cent of the arms  are safe to handle and can be picked up by the gripper "The gripper is suspended from a crane and is brought into an optimum gripping position The contact pressure can be adjusted - from five to 250 kilos - to gently lift the various objects into the basket without causing an explosion." Achieving such sensitivity was a real challenge The gripper is supported by a remote-controlled underwater robot or crawler which examines the seabed and collects small objects such as bullets The finds are sorted and documented aboard the other ships. "We draw up a data sheet for every recovered object," said Guldin. "Most of the recovered ammunition is brought ashore for destruction and handed over to the Society for the Disposal of Chemical Warfare Agents and Legacy Armaments (GEKA)."
