Oligarch yachts wanted

Oligarch yachts wanted

Gepostet von | 26 Apr 2022 | , , | 0

marineforum.online has already reported on how interested people are - often gleefully - in the whereabouts of the oligarch yachts. The interest is a hot topic in chat rooms, blogs and on social media around the world. The 19-year-old American Jack Sweeney has now also found a new hobby. He previously fearlessly published the data from Elon Musk's flights in private jets, which is said to have annoyed the capricious Elon terribly. In the course of the Ukraine crisis, the young man tracked the flights of Russian oligarchs. This spotting is a hobby of many, just take a look at Flugradar24.eu. His new hobby is dedicated to the superyachts of the...

Remotely piloted aircraft will be used to search for ships that do not comply with the sulphur limits in the region. The project, carried out by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) together with the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, is a continuation of similar projects that EMSA has carried out in this area. Over the next three months, a drone will measure the sulphur content in the exhaust plumes of ships travelling through the Baltic Sea. The "sniffer" will be able to detect any breaches of the applicable limit values. At the same time, image data will also be collected for hydrographic surveying. The remote-controlled aircraft will take off from the Staberhuk military base...

For the sinking of a cruiser

For the sinking of a cruiser

Gepostet von | 22 Apr 2022 | , , , , | 0

Wrong place, insufficient capability or arrogance? On 15 April, Russia was forced to admit that the missile cruiser "Moskva" had sunk while being towed back to port. The Russian and Ukrainian versions differed, marineforum reported. Will this have consequences for the way naval forces operate and the risks they take? The last time a ship of comparable size to the Moskva was sunk by an enemy force was in 1982, when the Argentinian light cruiser "General Belgrano" was torpedoed by the Royal Navy's submarine "Conqueror" during the ten-day Falklands War. However, this is hardly comparable, because the submarine...

The sixth Köln: A special day that the naval enthusiasts of the cathedral city and the "Freundeskreis Marineschiffe Köln" had been longing for: on 21 April, the sixth Köln officially received her name.

Russian fleet movements in the Baltic Sea

The Steregushiy-class corvettes RFS "Stoykiy" (545) and RFS "Soobrazitelny" (531), as well as the seagoing tug RFS Viktor "Konetskiy" returned to Baltiysk from the Skagerrak on 15 April 2022. Observers assume routine manoeuvre activity in the North Sea and Atlantic. On 16 April 2022, the large landing ship RFS "Ivan Gren" (010) of the Russian Northern Fleet then moved through the Kattegat and Great Belt into the Baltic Sea, where it arrived in Baltiysk on 18 April 2022. Whether the background to the relocation of the landing ship is a shipyard stay at the Yantar shipyard or the loading or unloading of weapons and equipment is speculation. Possibly...
