Our Team Malizia is upscaling its climate research efforts with a new sailboat, Malizia Explorer, dedicated to science, communication and outreach. This new project builds on the team’s core mission: while continuing to race and collect scientific data with Malizia - Seaexplorer, we will expand our efforts with Malizia Explorer to carry out dedicated research expeditions. Building on the success of our A Race We Must Win – Climate Action Now! mission, we are calling for collaborators, scientific projects, and partners to support this bold initiative. Already on board as a key partner is Reederei F. Laeisz, along with renowned scientific institutions AWI, GEOMAR, Hereon, and UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission.
We are proud to announce an exciting new chapter in our mission to further Ocean science and inspire ambitious climate action: the acquisition of a sailing research vessel. Named Malizia Explorer, the research vessel marks a significant step forward in our team's ongoing efforts to collect data in remote and relevant Ocean regions, further scientific research, and raise public awareness about the crucial role the Ocean plays in our climate system.
The announcement was made by Boris today, on 6 May 2025, live on stage at the German Ocean Conference in Berlin. The event, which brings together key stakeholders from government, science, industry, NGOs, and civil society took place on the same day as the inauguration of the new German government and election of the chancellor, making it especially timely for influencing national priorities on climate and Ocean health. It serves as a platform for Germany to shape and communicate its marine and climate policy, especially in the lead-up to international events like the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) in Nice, France (9-13 June) or COP30 (Brazil, 10-21 November). Speaking to an audience deeply engaged in Ocean and climate issues, Boris, known for advocating more ambitious climate action with his team, underscored their ongoing commitment to Ocean protection and emphasised the urgent need for collective action.
