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...

Corvettes from Germany - from export ship to successful model

Gepostet von | 26 Apr 2022 | , , , | 0

Corvettes from Germany can be found all over the world today. They are known for their high quality and reliability. Cologne, Emden, Karlsruhe, Augsburg, Lübeck - these are the traditional names of the second construction batch of five Brunswick-class corvettes, taken from the Bremen-class frigates. The first two units of the new corvettes built by the K 130 consortium are currently being fitted out at the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg, with the following three units under construction. Over the next few years, the new ships will gradually be added to the 1st Corvette Squadron in Warnemünde, thus increasing the number of units stationed there from five to...

China's fishing militia

China's fishing militia

Gepostet von | 26 Apr 2022 | , , , , , | 0

China is consolidating its territorial claims in the South China Sea with artificially created islands. Aggressive fishing fleets and maritime militias are also intended to ensure that its citizens are fed. The G7, NATO and EU meetings of the American president in June 2021 at the latest made Europeans realise that they need to reposition themselves with regard to the People's Republic of China. This is no longer just about flying the military flag in the South China Sea, but about the future political, economic and technological relationship with a country that has long been preparing to become the number one superpower. And the European Council on Foreign Relations states: "China...

The dilemma with security architectures

The dilemma with security architectures

Gepostet von | 25 Apr 2022 | , , , | 0

A turning point in Germany. The EU is coming together in a unity rarely seen before. NATO shows its teeth. Putin's invasion of Ukraine is changing Europe. Everything suddenly has to be rethought and aligned with new realities. Economic policy, energy policy, security policy. In Ukraine, as in Georgia and Syria, Putin's soldiers have been given no opportunity for heroic deeds, not for glory and honour on the battlefield. Soldierly virtues no longer apply where war is waged against cities and civilians, where war crimes become a strategy. Where a far superior NATO has to stand by and watch, because the consequences of intervention are likely to lead to an even greater catastrophe...

Drones monitor sulphur emissions in the Baltic Sea

Drones monitor sulphur emissions in the Baltic Sea

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

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...
