The 3D laser scanning of MV Estonia will be carried out on VOS Sweet, a research vessel operating under the Dutch flag. The research ship left the port of Gdynia in Poland on Saturday, May 21, and arrived at the location of the MV Estonia wreck on Monday morning. The marine surveys are carried out 24/7.
To conduct the 3D laser scanning surveys of the wreck of MV Estonia, the ESIB organised a public procurement, which was won by ESC Risk Management OÜ as the main contractor. 3D laser scanning services are provided by Kraken Robotics. The survey team is an international one, it includes experts from Estonia, Sweden, Germany, and Poland. The surveys will last 4-5 days, depending on the weather conditions and underwater visibility.
