Rheinmetall clears explosive ordnances in Baltic Sea
21. November 2024
The Düsseldorf-based Technology Corporation Rheinmetall has gained a valuable order for clearing explosive ordnances in the Baltic Sea in order to establish the condition for connecting an offshore windmill-farm to the power grid. The value of this commissioning is within a low double-digit million Euro range.
The order to Rheinmetall was placed by grid operator 50Hertz within the OST-6-1 project and contains the detection of contaminations, their identi-fication, the documentation, and hence, the recovery of explosive ordnances. Recovered trans-portable contaminated waste and remains of weapons will be handed-over to the authorities or blown up on site.
This is the first major order for the Cooperation concerning offshore explosives ordnances detection and clearing. The offshore work to be carried out by Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH began in July 2024 and is expected to be completed in May 2025.
