Only ships in the head

With ideas, creativity and passion, Tamsen Maritim has conquered a place for itself in the German shipyard landscape. A visit to the Warnow. Shipyards have always been exciting. That's why reports like to start with the history. Stories then deal with traditions and building numbers, legendary classes and old craftsmanship. Not so with Tamsen Maritim. Although the Rostock-Gehlsdorf site can be traced back to 1850, it has little to do with what you find today. There are no busts of founders, no oil paintings of old schooners and certainly no collections of brass or rigging frippery. The facility is almost new, radiates planning foresight,...

South Korea: Long-term construction project

South Korea is building modern frigates for its navy in line with its technological status. Export potential included.

Unmanned systems for maritime security

It hardly needs the confirmation of the Ukraine war to demonstrate the ever-growing importance of unmanned underwater, surface and airborne systems for maritime security. Camcopters are currently being used by Denmark, Iceland and Romania, among others, for maritime and border surveillance, supported by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). The US Navy is testing a SeaGuardian drone with electronic and communication sensors during its major Rimpac 2022 exercise. The US 7th and 5th fleets are rehearsing the use of unmanned systems in exercises with allied partners. The Royal Air Force reports successful trials with drones to saturate enemy air defences and Israel...
