Putins Krieg – Auswirkungen auf die globale Wirtschaft Bislang dominiert das Bild des Landkrieges die politische und mediale Wahrnehmung von dem Überfall der Ukraine durch Russland am 24.02.2022: Die Welt staunt über die endlosen Kolonnen russischer Kampffahrzeuge und Unterstützungskräfte und verfolgt gebannt den Abwehrkampf des ukrainischen Volkes. Innerhalb dieser Dramatik gehen die Nachrichten und Bilder von der wirtschaftlichen und maritimen Seite dieses Konfliktes unter. In seinem News-Beitrag „Putins Krieg gegen die Ukraine“ legt Prof Dr. Uwe Jenisch hier bei MarineForum online in einer ersten Übersicht die zu erwartenden Auswirkungen auf Schifffahrt und Handel dar: Seehandel mit Russland Die Lieferungen...

The saying "May you live in interesting times" is attributed to a Chinese proverb - and these are indeed interesting times in which we live! Chancellor Olaf Scholz's cabinet has been in office for less than six months before the new teams in the Chancellery, Federal Foreign Office (AA) and Ministry of Defence (BMVg) have to navigate a serious security crisis in and for Europe in close coordination with the transatlantic and European allies. The media image is dominated by the Russian combat vehicles deployed in a horseshoe shape around eastern Ukraine. However, this is not the end of Moscow's military endeavours; they are...

With its increased naval presence in the Black Sea, Russia now almost completely surrounds Ukraine, including the previously existing gap in the south. What do these increased naval movements mean? Are they related to the Ukraine crisis? To get a picture of the situation, it is worth taking a look at announcements made by the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, for example via the Internet and Twitter. Moscow's global naval ballet The Russian news agency Tass reported on 20 January, citing the Moscow Ministry of Defence, that the Russian Navy will conduct a series of naval exercises in all 'areas of responsibility of the fleets' in January and February.

Es ist mittlerweile guter Brauch, dass die Deutsche Marine ihren Maritimen Jahresbericht auf der Maritime Convention, der gemeinsamen Veranstaltung des DMIs und griephan, vorstellt – so auch in diesem Jahr in digitaler Form am 16.11.21.

Originally planned as a face-to-face event, this year's Maritime Convention participants were able to listen to the two-part presentation on China! Maritime driver for Europe?! via webinar. The DMI hosted the event together with griephan in his customary expert manner. The key question of the first panel "China is a littoral on the South China Sea?" was answered by the Ambassador of the Republic of Singapore to Germany, Mr Laurence Bay, in a reversal of the facts: Germany and the EU are littoral states on the South China Sea. He sees this not only in the presence of European merchant ships in this sea area and in the numerous branches of European companies in this region, more than 2,000 in Singapore alone...
