• The governmental project to protect water environment

has been started officially 3/2019.

• Sub project ”WRECKS” has a duration of 3…5 years, and

continues in 2020 - 2021.

• Main results for this national wreck project in 2019

were:

• - two separate wreck surveying missions by Turva – 9

wrecks studied;

• - two missions onboard SYKE’s ARANDA – two new

wrecks were studied and 3d models performed;

• - new R&D devices for ARANDA, bottom profilers, side

can sonar and multibeam sonar

• - plans for 2020 done and in execution phase

WRECKS project – Oil Removal Operations – integration of governmental bodies and private sector

4

• Project is an elementary part of the

governmental water protection programme for 2019 – 2023, and is linked to the Baltic Sea Action Plan.

• Sub-project WRECKS is planned for

the years 2019 – 2021, if the Parliament will admitt the annual budget for the project execution.

• Total budget is 4 M€ for the WRECKS

• National wreck project is run by SYKE, ander the coordination of the

Finnish Ministry of the Environment

• Year 2019 main goal was to be prepared to the oil removal operations

and to define the status quo of the governmental and private sector ability for wreck salvage operations;

• Nine wrecks were studied by The Finnish frontier Guard and SYKE –

two of those objects were deeper than 70 m.

• Glider was used for underwater hydrocarbon level measurements;
• ARANDA got new devices for wreck studies
• Bucket Dredger VELI outside Hanko was emptied by a joint operation

by the Finnish Navy and SYKE

• Two smaller coastal wreighters sunk in the Archipelago Sea were

studied and 3D modelled – preparations are under way for the oil removal operations in 2020.

• Oil removal objects for 2020 have been selected
• Additional operations will be performed (removal of two

paravans – for example)

• 1-2- oil removal operations will be performed by divers
• One object in deeper water will be given for private sector
• Risk assessment under preparation
• Tender processes will be started
• Oil removal operation for 2021
• Recommendations, sampling plans under writing process
• Wreck seminar planned for August – September.

• Draft report ready for review of the

Submerged experts in coming weeks

• Some new Russian Statistics will be

received after their New Year Holiday Season, and added to the text

• No Statistics from Lihuania, Latvia.

German data need to be added; Mr Rytkönen has got unofficial data from Latvia and Lithuania and will visit both countries to check their validity for the report. Sediment samples taken in the Archipelago Sea - wreck Fortuna
