From June 18 to 20, the second edition of the Kiel Munition Clearance Week (KMCW) took place. The event was opened by Schleswig-Holstein's Environment Minister Tobias Goldschmidt and Jann Wendt (north.io), the initiator of the event. The Kiel Munition Clearance week is the international expert conference dealing with munition clearance in the sea. This year, the conference focused on solutions for the removal of underwater munitions and the protection of critical infrastructure in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. More than 200 participants from 16 countries came to Kiel, including representatives from the EU Commission, numerous federal and state authorities, the NATO, the German Navy and Navy representatives of other nations, as well as from industry, academia, and environmental organizations. CONMAR was strongly represented with all its partners. More information can be found here.
