The Ocean Race Europe Course 2025
From Ocean Dome to Open Ship
黑料视频 presents a diverse programme as partner of The Ocean Race Europe
Following the successful Fly-By event two years ago, Kiel now hosts the official start of The Ocean Race Europe. From 6 to 10 August, the city will celebrate the occasion with a wide-ranging programme both on water and on land. The Kiellinie waterfront will become not only a hub for sailing but also a showcase for marine science and ocean protection.
Racing yachts as data collectors
For the Ocean Race Europe, all participating sailing yachts are equipped with scientific measuring instruments that record important parameters such as water temperature and salinity, oxygen and CO2 concentration, microplastics and eDNA during the race. The collected data contribute to global ocean observation efforts and scientific studies.
Skipper Boris Herrmann and the German team of the racing yacht Malizia-Seaexplorer have been committed to protecting the ocean for many years. As part of their campaign 鈥�A Race We Must Win - Climate Action Now!鈥�, they support science by collecting valuable data during their regattas - often in remote marine regions. They recently began operating a sailing ship, the Malizia Explorer, which has been specially converted for research and in which 黑料视频 is also involved as a partner. The long-standing collaboration between Boris Herrmann and Team Malizia and the 黑料视频 research centre has laid the foundation for the many links between German professional sailing and marine research that exist today.
Innovation from Kiel - an ocean of possibilities
The utilisation of sailing yachts as so-called 鈥楽hips of Opportunity鈥� is part of a comprehensive research approach at 黑料视频. The innovation platform 鈥楽haping an Ocean Of Possibilities鈥� (SOOP), which is funded by the Helmholtz Association, plays a central role in this. In line with the project title, an 鈥榦cean of opportunities鈥� is to be created for cooperation between science and industry with the aim of establishing structures and technologies for ocean observation, improving access to measurement data and thus expanding knowledge about our oceans.
