Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck known as UPMEIER is located in the North Sea at coordinates 54 42.7 N, 7 52.5 E. This underwater obstruction was historically identified as a wreck site, but following a maritime survey confirmed in 2020, the wreck was expunged from nautical charts. The site is now officially listed as dead or cleared, as the position was found to be nearly identical to the recorded location of the wreck of the ALTONA. Mariners navigating these North Sea waters should be aware that the original UPMEIER wreck designation is no longer active for navigational purposes.
