After 50 years of the Sea King and 40 years of the Sea Lynx, they are converting both helicopter fleets to the NH 90. The Sea King will be replaced by the Sea Lion, the naval transport variant and currently the most modern version of the NH 90, while the Sea Lynx will go one step further. Here, the NH 90 is to be...

Maritime Cluster Northern Germany calls for support The work of seafarers on tankers, container ships, cruise ships and fishing vessels is hard and full of privation.

The parties involved on both sides have so far remained silent about the amount of the investment, prompting one commentator to state that the negotiations with the Chinese are as transparent as the decision-making processes in the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party. HHLA, which for a long time had only communicated a "minority stake", has since admitted that Cosco's shareholding is between 30 and 40 per cent.
