CUXHAVEN. In November, the semi-submersible ship “Rolldock Sea” took the dredging barge “Gian Lorenzo Bernini” on board at Cuxport Terminal in Cuxhaven. To facilitate this, “Rolldock Sea” flooded its ballast tanks to the point that the stern submerged so far that the loading area was below surface of the water thus allowing the “Gian Lorenzo Bernini” to float in at water level with the help of two tugs. An important prerequisite for floating manoeuvres of this type is a large draught, as is available in Cuxport Berth 4 with its draught of 15 metres.
Sustainable lighting as an experience
NORDDEICH Artificial lighting at night has far-reaching effects on humans, animals, and the environment. The international research project “Darker Sky” has therefore set itself the goal of developing innovative and sustainable lighting solutions.
