Belgien, Bergung eines Walkadaver im Hafen von Antwerpen-Brügge the removal of a whale cadaver at the terminal of DP World, in the Deurganckdok at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, in Antwerp, Tuesday 29 August 2023. The carcass of a cetacean surfaced on Tuesday morning. It is not yet clear which species it is. The ten meter long cadaver will be salvaged with great care. The inconvenience to shipping traffic in the Deurganck dock is currently limited, but the animal must be removed as soon as possible, since there is always a chance that it will explode due to accumulated gases inside the cadaver. After the salvage, the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences will examine the animal in collaboration with the universities of Antwerp and Ghent. JONASxROOSENS 72863343
