SO287 - RV SONNE passes the Panama CanalSO287 - RV SONNE passes the Panama Canal
10 January 2022
Since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic at the beginning of 2020, RV SONNE has been operating only in the Atlantic region and almost exclusively from the port of Emden, Germany. On January 3 2022, the passage of the Panama Canal marked the return of the SONNE to her traditional area of operation, the Pacific and Indian Ocean. The scientific cruise participant Jon Roa recorded this step in a nice time-lapse video. Hoping that all following research cruises and port calls will run as smoothly as the passage of the panama canal, the German Research Fleet Coordination Centre wishes the RV SONNE and all cruise participants a safe journey at all times!
