The “Haithabu“ is a modern ship for the monitoring of the coastal waters of Schleswig-Holstein and replaces, since
2014, the former “Haithabu” that was commissioned in 1982. It is operated by the Landesbetrieb für Küsten-schutz, Nationalpark und Meeresschutz (LKN-SH), the Schleswig-Holstein Agency for Coastal Defense, National
Park and Marine Conservation.
Nutrient inputs into the waters, oil spills and ammunition on the sea bed – our seas are exposed to a number of
threats and pressures. This is why the “Haithabu” fulfils manifold assignments for different Federal State Authorities. She is a scientific research vessel to help us learn more about the status of the Baltic Sea and protect it
better, is important for combatting oil spills and is used for detecting and recovering ammunition. |
