The village of Rerik in Northern Germany is renowned for its beautiful beaches and agricultural backlands.

To ensure more effective and natural protection of the beach from the winter storms in the Baltic Sea, Rohde Nielsen delivered 120.000 m3 of sand. The sand was pumped through a 1.000m submerged pipeline from a winning area located near the coast of Markgrafenheide, approximately 52 km east of Rerik.

To prevent the sand from being blown into the village, Rohde Nielsen also installed temporary sand trap fences along the beach.

The units Thor R and Loke R were both assigned to the project and performed the job impeccably.
