As Finland turns to the West, it is also modernising its maritime armed forces. The small country is spending a lot of money on this. From a strategic military perspective, Finland is a country of extremes. With only 5.5 million inhabitants on 338,465 square kilometres, the country is relatively sparsely populated and the population is also distributed quite unevenly across the country, with a clear population focus in the south. A good 10 per cent of the country is made up of inland waters, predominantly the approximately 56,000 lakes with an area of at least one hectare, plus a forest area of 73 per cent of the national territory. The 1250 kilometre long...

The Bonhomme Richard was not the first US Navy ship to fall victim to the flames. Has the navy learnt anything from the incident?

The cause of the fire is still being investigated. The original suspicion that the fire was started deliberately by a crew member has so far been neither confirmed nor ruled out.

The BSH has been measuring the proportion of sulphur in ship emissions since 2014. At the end of 2020, the measuring network consisted of three fixed and one mobile station as well as the new measuring station on the Atair. The maximum permissible limit for the proportion of sulphur in marine fuels has been 0.5 percent worldwide since 1 January 2020. The limit value of 0.1 per cent has already applied to the North Sea and Baltic Sea as a Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) since 1 January 2015.

The new survey, wreck search and research vessel Atair 75 metres long, around 17 metres wide, a draught of five metres and a speed of around 13 knots characterise the Atair, the first seagoing government vessel for special tasks with LNG propulsion, low noise and awarded the Blue Angel for energy-efficient design. In more than 300,000 hours of design work, around 6,000 drawings and documents were produced. The ship contains 1300 tonnes of steel. 180 kilometres of cable and 92 tonnes of pipe were laid on board. 5500 measuring points were programmed. In September 2020, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) accepted the ship. At the end of April 2021...
