  MS Stubnitz, a former deep-sea fishing trawler, was restored during 1993 into a mobile forum for the arts. The ship has been equipped with a spatial and technical infrastructure for cultural production, studios for design and new media. Under the patronage of the Council of Europe and the Lord mayor of the City of Rostock, the ship launched cultural projects in Germany in 1993.

  1994 is the year of MS Stubnitz’ Baltic Tour. From July to September, the ship cruises the Baltic Sea, providing cultural platforms for different events: St. Petersburg Jubilee, ISEA’94 Helsinki and Hamburg. International Forum, Malmo Baltic During the Baltic Tour, a cultural contact
