As swz-maritime reports, it has been possible to part company with the Russian owner after all. Previously, a notary had refused to sign a deal to transfer the shares of Russian oligarch Vagit Alekperov, the owner of Heesen Yachts, to a Dutch foundation.

The Dutch frigate HNLMS "De Zeven Provinciën" lost around 4000 litres of lubricating oil in the Baltic Sea last month. This happened during her deployment for the Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1). The oil escaped in small quantities in phases and was therefore not noticed immediately. The crew only realised when a larger quantity had escaped. The leak was then found and plugged. The cause is not yet known. The air defence and command frigate HNLMS "De Zeven Provinciën" is the flagship of the rapid reaction force SNMG1. According to the Dutch Ministry of Defence, the frigate is currently on a harbour visit in...
