The Mya II is a German research ship built in 2013 at the Fassmer shipyard . The ship is used by the Wadden Sea station of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) on Sylt and replaces the Mya catamaran built in 1978 .

history

The Mya II was ordered in December 2011 by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research from the Fassmer shipyard in Berne -Motzen and built until 2013 under construction number 5060. The ship, christened on July 16, 2013, was handed over to the AWI on July 17 and put into service on August 13. The 4.5 million euros in development and construction costs for the ship come 10 percent from the state of Schleswig-Holstein and 90 percent from federal funds. The ship is named after the sand gape mussel , whose scientific name is Mya arenaria .

Technical data and equipment

Which is driven Mya II from a MAN - diesel engine (type: LE D 2876 407) with 360  kW power that acts to a fixed propeller. It reaches a speed of up to 10  knots . An air-cooled auxiliary diesel allows it to fall dry in the Wadden Sea .

The scientific equipment includes a hydraulic crane with a 10 meter boom , a swiveling stern boom , an open working deck with container storage area , a folding stern platform, an aluminum work boat, a flexible device arm for measurements up to 4.5 m below the hull as well as various winches and echo sounders . With the multi-frequency echo sounder, jellyfish, shrimp or individual fish species as well as the size of the animals can be recognized and their numbers determined.

For use in the Wadden Sea National Park , the Mya II has been awarded the Blue Angel and the “Environmental Passport” supplement. An exhaust gas cleaning system reduces nitrogen oxides to 15 percent of the 2013 limit.

The ship's crew consists of two people. There are three workplaces for up to twelve scientists.

commitment

The Mya II , despite the draft, of only 1.5 m seagoing and faster than the old Mya . The ship is used for scientific tasks in the Wadden Sea between Sylt and Rømø . It is also able to operate safely in the sea area between Sylt and Helgoland and in the area of offshore wind farms . The ship is also to be used in the project “From sediment to top predator (STopP)” at Langeneß , which is coordinated by the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park Administration .
