The scientific vessel “Professor Shtokman” is leaving Kaliningrad for an expedition. Nis "Professor Shtokman"

"Professor Shtokman" is a research vessel of the "Valerian Uryvaev" type. Named in honor of the Soviet oceanologist Vladimir Borisovich Shtokman. The ship was built in 1979, has a displacement of 1,600 tons, and a length of 69 meters.

"Professor Shtokman" was on more than 80 scientific voyages and visited almost all areas of the world's oceans. Currently, the ship continues scientific activities.

The vessel belongs to the Institute of Oceanology named after. P. P. Shirshov RAS.

By 2006, the ship had made 74 voyages to various areas of the World Ocean, including Arctic and equatorial latitudes. Significant work was carried out on the vessel: the discovery of a large oil and gas field on the shelf of the Barents Sea, called the “Shtokman Field”; study of the structure of the Red Sea rift; conducting the first Soviet comprehensive expedition to the Amazon basin; obtaining new data on the Azores Current; sailing along the Northern Sea Route; study of seismic activity in the area of the telephone exchange under construction in Bushehr (Iran) and others.

In recent years, the R/V Professor Shtokman has been widely used in the study of the Baltic, Barents, White and Kara seas: their hydrophysics and geophysics, geology and geochemistry; in monitoring the burial sites of toxic substances and spent components of ship's automatic transmission systems, which pose a potential threat to the biosphere of these basins. According to its technical and economic indicators, the vessel is easy to operate and has a steady demand for scientific expeditions.

Baltic waters as a cemetery and treasure
1.10.2007

This man knows everything about the seabed. Professor of the Institute of Oceanology Emelyan Emelyanov has been studying the Baltic for many years. With a group of scientists, he proved: the Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted in the world, but off the Russian coast it is cleaner than in other places. Radiation levels in the Baltic Sea have been actively monitored over the past seventeen years.
The Chernobyl accident became a kind of temporary reference point. Again, according to the observations of scientists, the high level of radiation in the Baltic is primarily due to its isolation and relative shallow waters.
The Baltic Sea is a real ship graveyard. In the Kaliningrad water area alone today there are more than a hundred sunken objects. Most of them are warships of the Third Reich, which are still fraught with danger. Not a single modern ammunition depot can compare with the number of shells on the bottom of the Baltic. Sea silt hides hundreds of thousands of chemical bombs. Dozens of German barges with chemical weapons on board were sunk near the island of Bornholm and Lithuanian Klaipeda after the Great Patriotic War.
The scientific vessel “Professor Shtokman” is leaving Kaliningrad for another international expedition. Kaliningrad, newspaper “Yantarny Krai” (mass media), Kaliningrad region. Scientists from the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology intend to continue researching the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The ship's laboratories and technical compartments are filled with computers and sonar instruments. At least 20 ships lie at the bottom of the sea near the Kaliningrad coast, which may contain dangerous cargo.
Nasir Yuzbekov, head of the department of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, told VGTRK: “Our goal is to detect these dangers in time, add them to the identification register and make prompt decisions. I really wanted to confirm and identify those objects that were found in 2006.”
Emelyan Emelyanov, professor, academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, adds: “The casings of bombs and shells have already completely rusted for 55 years, and toxic substances fall out and spread through the silt. And fishermen fish here. They trawl and scatter shells and substances over a larger area of water. We have now found out that these chemical burials do not pose a danger to the population. If left undisturbed, they will decompose for another 100 years and gradually dissolve. Toxic substances are released, of course, but arsenic combines with other minerals. Therefore, there is very little of these elements in water: cadmium, arsenic and lead.”
But the danger still remains. Radionuclides accumulate in fish. Moreover, no matter in which part of the Baltic the fishing takes place, the level of radiation is the same everywhere. Flounder, whitefish, cod, pike perch - these varieties are considered the most contaminated.
The European community is trying not to make a fuss about this. Fishing villages in Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Norway today rely on fishing for their livelihood. But they do not sell Baltic fish on their territory; the entire catch goes to Eastern Europe, including Kaliningrad region. And on the shelves of Western Europe, for the most part, there is fish from the “pure” Atlantic.
In addition to shells, the Baltic Sea is also rich in building materials. Carbonate rocks (lime, chalk) lie at the bottom. Scientists have also proven the presence of gold in sea mud. But it is not yet profitable to extract it; the costs are too high.
The Russian Baltic is now of great interest to divers. Diving enthusiasts from all over the country come to Kaliningrad to dive to the bottom of the sea. Evgeny Vishnevsky, diving into warm seas, still returned to the shores of the Baltic Sea. Although there are no exotic animals here, photographs of old sunken ships are of particular value.
Evgeniy Vishnevsky, a diver, says: “There are a lot of sunken objects, an echo of war. There are planes, warships, and civilians. There are also historical things. I think less than half have been studied; the military probably has some secret data. The same is true in Polish waters. There are a lot of sunken objects in the Gdansk Bay.”
Among divers, as well as archaeologists, there is the concept of a “black” diver. They specialize in finding rarities and sunken ships. Especially civilians, of which there are many in the Baltic. But they do not hesitate to hand over scrap metal. Using special underwater welding, ship hulls are cut and raised to the surface. According to divers, there is little left of the ships that were sunk closer to the shore.
