Dalmorneftegeofizica Courtesy of TGS has acquired a huge seismic data base covering almost the entire Sea of Okhotsk. New, modern data is now made available through a cooperati- on with TGS Nopec. Photo: Erling Frantzen Courtesy of TGS BP/Rosneft Pela Lache OKHA SAKHALIN Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk The Sea of Okhotsk is named after Okhotsk, the first Russian settlement in the Far East. It is the northwest arm of the Pacific Ocean covering an area of 1,528,000 sq km, lying between the Kamchatka Peninsula on the east, the Kuril Islands on the southeast, the island of Hokkaido belonging to Japan to the far south, the island of Sakhalin along the west, and a long stretch of eastern Siberian coastline along the west and north. Most of the Sea of Okhotsk, except for the area around the Kuril Islands, is frozen during from November to June and has frequent heavy fogs. In the summer, the icebergs melt and the sea becomes navigable again. The sea is generally less than 1,500m deep; its deepest point, near the Kuriles, is 3,363 m. Fishing and crab- bing are carried on off W Kamchatka peninsula. The DMNG/TGS Seismic acquired in 1998, 2004 and 2005 is shown in green, blue and red colours. Note also the location of Okha where oil seeps were found 125 years ago.

The approach taken was to compare the status and population trends of stocks of key cetacean species in three areas with E&P activities―Alaska (subdivided into three regions, the Beaufort, Bering and Chukchi seas), Australia (Western and southeast regions), and Sakhalin Island, Russia―with corresponding parameters for stocks of the same species (where possible) in areas where E&P activities were absent or greatly reduced. The project involved a critical review of existing and historical data on cetacean stocks, and a compilation of data on E&P activities and non-industry factors that may have influenced stocks, in the areas of interest. Data were assessed in terms of quality, quantity, and temporal and spatial coverage to determine whether sufficient data were available for a reasonable assessment of correlations between cetacean populations and E&P activities.

In this paper we summarize the current information about killer whales and the live-capture procedures in the western North Pacific. We have described two killer whale ecotypes in the Russian Far East: fish-eating and mammal-eating ecotypes similar to resident and transient killer whales found in the Northeastern Pacific. Resident killer whales were encountered much more frequently than transients off eastern Kamchatka, near the Commander Islands and Kuril Islands. Transient killer whales prevailed in the western and northern Okhotsk Sea and off Sakhalin Island. Mitochondrial control region haplotypes were different for resident and transient killer whales. Genetic analysis of microsatellite DNA showed that resident and transient killer whales belong to reproductively isolated populations. Values of stable isotope δ15N were significantly higher in transients, indicating their higher trophic level.

  • After 88 Years - Four-Masted Barque PEKING Back in Her Homeport Hamburg
    Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 After 88 Years - Four-masted Barque PEKING Back In Her Homeport Hamburg Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 On February 25, 1911 - 109 years ago - the four-masted barque PEKING was launched for the Hamburg ship- ping company F. Laeisz at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. The 115-metres long, and 14.40 metres wide cargo sailing ship had no engine, and was robustly constructed for transporting saltpetre from the Chilean coast to European ports. The ship owner’s tradition of naming their ships with words beginning with the letter “P”, as well as these ships’ regular fast voyages, had sailors all over the world call the Laeisz sailing ships “Flying P-Liners”. The PEKING is part of this legendary sailing ship fleet, together with a few other survivors, such as her sister ship PASSAT, the POMMERN and PADUA, the last of the once huge fleet which still is in active service as the sail training ship KRUZENSHTERN. Before she was sold to England in 1932 as stationary training ship and renamed ARETHUSA, the PEKING passed Cape Horn 34 times, which is respected among seafarers because of its often stormy weather. In 1975 the four-master, renamed PEKING, was sold to the USA to become a museum ship near the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. There the old ship quietly rusted away until 2016 due to the lack of maintenance. -Af ter returning to Germany in very poor condition in 2017 with the dock ship COMBI DOCK III, the PEKING was meticulously restored in the Peters Shipyard in Wewelsfleth to the condition she was in as a cargo sailing ship at the end of the 1920s.

The marine accident report is available from the webpage of the Danish Maritime Accident Investi- gation Board www.dmaib.com. The Danish Maritime Accident Investigation Board The Danish Maritime Accident Investigation Board is an independent unit under the Ministry of Business and Growth that carries out investigations as an impartial unit which is, organizationally and legally, independent of other parties. The board investigates maritime accidents and occupa- tional accidents on Danish and Greenlandic merchant and fishing ships as well as accidents on foreign merchant ships in Danish and Greenlandic waters. The Danish Maritime Accident Investigation Board investigates about 140 accidents annually. In case of very serious accidents, such as deaths and losses, or in case of other special circum- stances, either a marine accident report or a summary report is published depending on the extent and complexity of the events. The investigations The investigations are carried out separate from the criminal investigation without having used le- gal evidence procedures and with no other basic aim than learning about accidents with the pur- pose of preventing future accidents. Consequently, any use of this report for other purposes may lead to erroneous or misleading interpretations.
