Ukraine had already signed a construction contract for four ADA-class corvettes (MILGEM project) with Turkey in mid-December 2020 - with the option of a fifth if things go well. Initial stipulations envisaged the complete construction of the type ship in Turkish hands. Subsequent negotiations with the aim of increasing the transfer of technology from Turkey to the Ukraine then resulted in a construction ratio of half, i.e. hull in Turkish production and further construction at the Ukrainian PJSC Nikolaev Okean shipyard (just south of Mykolajiv) together with Turkish engineers. The provisional schedule envisaged a start of construction of the hulls around the end of 2021 for the first sea trials in 2023...

Convert old oil and gas fields to green electricity - or close them prematurely! In the current German energy situation, it is worth taking a look at other European countries. In Germany, we should not simply believe that our European partners can supply us with unlimited energy. A look at Norway shows that even supposedly more progressive and independent partners have their difficulties. Norway, the largest oil producer in Western Europe, also wants to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990.

Once put into service as tugs, the various types of naval vessels quickly turned out to be versatile quick-change artists. But after many decades at sea, it is now time to decide on a successor. A Swiss Army knife is a useful little thing, usually carried inconspicuously on a belt or in a trouser pocket so that it is immediately available when needed. There are many very useful and few or no useless functions on such a multi-purpose knife. This is no surprise, as experts have been working on the development of such tools for decades, supported by user feedback. Basic functions and tried and tested...
