Support to allow transport of Ukrainian wheat The Canadian government plans to help Ukraine export its stranded wheat to countries where it is urgently needed, its foreign minister said on Monday. Russia has blockaded Ukrainian seaports, stranding dozens of foreign-flagged ships and about 20 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain. This agricultural cargo - primarily wheat - is essential for the food supply of many developing countries, especially in the Middle East and Africa. As the Ukrainian coast of the Sea of Azov is under Russian control and the harbours on the Black Sea are under siege, the...

Ambiguities as with the frigate "Makarov" Two Ukrainian officials have claimed that another Russian Navy ship has been hit in the Black Sea.

Damen Naval and ABB (a Swedish-Swiss technology company) have signed a contract for the supply of transformers, generators, thruster motors and other onboard systems for the F126 frigates. This also includes cybersecurity solutions for the four frigates with an option for two more. This is a significant change in the way tomorrow's naval vessels will not only fulfil increasingly complex requirements, but also meet emissions expectations. For multi-mission capable vessels, a DC system allows the diesel generators to operate at variable speed depending on power. The robustness of the direct current network will enable the German Navy to use as few diesel generators as possible, without having to reduce...

Bremen march

Why is marching a topic for a maritime forum? Well, firstly, it's about the cooperation between active and reserve service personnel - and there are also comrades in blue cloth, and secondly, Bremen is a state on the coast! This is the eighth time that the Bremen state command and the Bremen regional group of the Association of German Armed Forces Reservists (VdRBw) have organised the "Bremen March". Due to the corona pandemic, the march was organised as a remotemarch in the last two years, and the 50 or so reservists taking part will be able to set off together again on 21 May 2022. The 24-kilometre-long...
