BRIESE RESEARCH with Klaus Küper

Technology And The Sea - Fascination Marine Technology

Two points have already become clear: 1. The oceans are important. 2. We know far too little about them. To change that, German research ships are underway on all the world's oceans, carrying all kinds of marine technology, technology that can withstand the harsh conditions of the world's oceans.
In this podcast episode, you will get to know Klaus Küper, the man responsible for eight German research vessels, who manages them and, together with a dedicated team of 15 people, ensures that what is needed at any given moment is always on board so that important scientific experiments can be carried out.
Klaus Küper heads the research department at the BRIESE shipping company in Leer - here everything revolves around the eight research vessels. By the way, such a research ship is an exciting and interesting place to train and work! Klaus Küper told us that 250 seamen work there, and he also told us about a drastic experience he had as a 17-year-old deck boy that left a lasting impression on him: He sank with his ship in the English Channel and barely survived the sinking.
