NDR in Hamburg reported on 14 January 2023 that the operators of traditional ships are looking for new volunteers. "We need young talent in all areas, for all historic ships - and the harbour railway," said Claus Liesner, Chairman of the Board of the Hamburg Maritime Foundation (SHM). The foundation is very much aware that there are only a few German seafarers left. "After their active service at sea, many former seafarers have continued to be actively involved on our ships in the past," said Liesner, but there is an increasing lack of new recruits. "From engine drivers to deckhands to ship's command, we are looking for volunteers - for all...

Newbuilding 782 from Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) will set off on a test voyage of several days on the North Sea and Baltic Sea after a short stay in dock, before heading for Bremerhaven. The 210-metre-long RoRo ferry will move to Dock 3 at the Lloyd Werft shipyard there for around a week so that the shipbuilders at Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft can carry out the remaining work on the ship's hull to optimise its performance data. The "MV Tennor Ocean" will then set off on a test voyage lasting several days on the North and Baltic Seas. All technical systems will be checked and nautical manoeuvres carried out in a tightly timed programme. Already tested during the voyage from Flensburg to Bremerhaven...

Fire defence on container ships: Recommendations of the DNV

Fire defence on container ships: Recommendations of the DNV

What is - or at least should be - a technical design principle on grey ships and a daily routine in service operations, does not have to be just as consistently decisive on civilian-crewed, cost-oriented cargo and tanker ships: Fire safety in harbour and sea operations. Fire hazard on container ships In the civilian sector, it is less the handling of flammable and explosive substances inside the ship than the cargo in the cargo or container hold. In the case of containers in particular, cargo knowledge and monitoring is rarely available at all times. This is why the topic of "Containership Fire Safety" is currently on the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) two-year agenda: In the subcommittee...

The Russian Federation Navy's traditional Christmas fireworks display - but one that was probably necessary to mark the end of the calendar year - with keel layings, launches and commissioning was set off just in time on 29 December by President Vladimir Putin via video conference from his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo, 15 kilometres west of Moscow: The minesweeper "Anatoly Shlemov" (Pacific Fleet), the corvette "Grad" (Baltic Fleet) and the strategic nuclear submarine K-553 "Generalissimo Suvorov", the sixth of the eight nuclear-tipped "Borey" class (Pacific Fleet), each with 16 intercontinental ballistic missiles (Bulava 30 / SS-NX-32), were put into service and handed over to the navy.

Russia: Third multi-purpose frigate "Gorshkov" class in the Baltic Sea

The multi-purpose frigates of the "Admiral Gorshkov" class (project 22350, 135 metres, 4,500 tonnes) were to be built in 2014 in a series of fifteen units and quickly replace various specialised, but also expensive and complex old-build frigates. This was the time of the launch and christening of the second platform with the name "Admiral Kasatonov" - the "Admiral Gorshkov" took another two years to enter service. However, it was also the year in which the keel was laid at the Severnaya Verf in St. Petersburg for construction number three, the "Admiral Golovko", which is now undergoing functional trials in the Baltic Sea after being fitted out until November. Originally, the...
