Some 290 shipwrecks lie in the Belgian part of the North Sea alone, with probably more than 1,000 in the entire North Sea, many of them silent witnesses to the two world wars. Until recently, the environmental impact of these wrecks was largely unknown and, as far as the presence of munitions is concerned, they represented a true Pandora’s box. The North Sea Wrecks project has changed this. Researchers examined the munitions and possible release of toxic substances from a few selected wrecks in the North Sea. Are these wrecks really leaving us with a toxic legacy of war, or are we worrying about nothing? In this article, we try to discover the answer.

An anchor handling tug supply vessel (AHTS) suffered a hull breach and was deliberately run aground in Rio de Janeiro State in southeastern Brazil on Friday, May 15.
The incident occurred when the DOF-operated AHTS Skandi Amazonas struck a rock near the town of Macaé, resulting in the hull breach. The crew then deliberately ran the vessel aground some 200 metres off the coast to prevent it from sinking.
A number of support vessels from Porto de Impetiba were deployed to the area and safely evacuated 12 non-essential crewmembers from the AHTS while 17 others remained on board to oversee recovery operations. No injuries have been reported.
