The Deneb is one of three surveying, wreck search and research vessels of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) in Hamburg and Rostock . The shipowner is the Federal Republic of Germany, represented by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure .
history
The ship was built under the hull number 424 at the Peene shipyard in Wolgast . The keel was laid on July 27, 1993, the launch on May 6, 1994. The ship was christened on this day . Godmother was Barbara Knittel, the wife of the then State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Transport, Dr. Wilhelm Knittel . The completion of the ship took place in November 1994, the commissioning on November 25th of that year.
A replacement building for Deneb is planned by 2026 .
The ship is named after the star Deneb , the brightest star in the constellation Swan .
Technical specifications
The ship is powered by a Siemens - electric motor with 720 kW power driven, acting on a fixed-pitch propeller. The ship thus reaches a speed of 11 knots . Two diesel generators , each with an apparent power of 1,010 kVA, are available for powering the traction motor and the on-board electrical system . A diesel generator with 500 kVA apparent power is installed as the harbor generator, and a diesel generator with 18 kVA apparent power as an emergency generator. The engines run on synthetic GtL fuel . The fuel is sulfur-free, which means better exhaust gas values are achieved than with conventional diesel fuels. During the lay time in Rostock, the ship is supplied with electricity via a shore connection that went into operation in December 2018 . The generators can be switched off in the port and the environmental pollution with exhaust gases, noise and waste heat can be reduced.
The ship is equipped with a bow thruster with an output of 530 kW. It also has a stern jet control system with an output of 48 kW.
commitment
The ship is mainly used for surveying - and wreck seeking work and for maintenance work on the Seegangsmessbojen and BSH monitoring network stations in the German coastal waters of the North and Baltic used. The ship has the appropriate equipment for this, such as vertical and fan echo sounders as well as sonar systems .
The ship is also equipped with two flat-going survey boats, which are also fully equipped with echo sounders and data acquisition systems in order to be able to operate independently in shallow waters. Furthermore, there is a complete range of diving equipment on board, so that diving operations are possible both from the ship and from a survey boat.
There is space on board for 16 crew members and seven scientists.
The main area of application is the southwestern Baltic Sea , the home port is Rostock . By November 2014 the ship had covered around 250,000 nautical miles , and by November 2019 it was around 313,000 nautical miles.
