With the visit of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Kiev on 9 March 2022, it became known that the United Kingdom's future arms deliveries will also include sea-based missiles. Since then, the Harpoon ship-to-ship missile system has been discussed in the media as an option.

As the company SAAB presented in a press release last week, the Sea Giraffe 1X is currently the most compact and affordable high-performance 3D radar. Its light weight and small size allow for flexible installation, resulting in a greater range without compromising the ship's structure or stability. The Sea Giraffe antenna weighs only 100kg. The German Navy has recently added Saab's Sea Giraffe 1X 3D Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA) surveillance radar to the project scope for upgrading the sensor systems on board its Brandenburg-class frigates (F123). They will be installed as part of the refit programme of the 123 frigates with Abeking...

The Maritime Cluster Northern Germany (MCN) and the Maritime Platform organised a face-to-face event on this topic. The interest was overwhelmingly high, with around 110 participants from business, research, associations and politics attending the event at the Hafen-Klub Hamburg on 31 March. In addition to the path to lower-emission shipping, the consequences of the war in Ukraine for the maritime industry and Germany's energy supply were of particular interest due to current events. The event began with a series of keynote speeches on new propulsion technologies and fuels. Jürgen Gerdes from LoGe Shipmanagement & Co. KG reported on the progress made in fuel cell technology for...
