US Coast Guard checks Chinese fishermen in the South Pacific

After six Chinese fishing boats violated the fishing laws of the Republic of Vanuatu, a group of islands east of Australia, they were inspected by the local police. The special thing about this is that the inspection was carried out from a US Coast Guard ship, which was patrolling the waters of the Pacific island state for the first time. The basis for such 'missions' are bilateral agreements with the USA, the so-called Shiprider Agreement, which allows law enforcement officers of the contracting state to carry out patrols in their territory and in their exclusive economic zone (EEZ) on board US Coast Guard (USCG) vessels. In joint teams, host nation authorities utilise the strength of the US fleet to enforce maritime laws and enforce...

German Naval Yards: More than a shipyard!

German Naval Yards: More than a shipyard!

Posted by | 21 May 2024 | , , | 0

The shock caused by the death of owner Iskandar Safa was huge. Questions and rumours arose. Time for clarifying words. People know us, the German Naval Yards. The traditional shipyard on the Kiel Fjord with the iconic gantry crane. And yet very few people know who and what is behind the company! After the sad news, misinformation made the rounds. People mistakenly thought we had already been "sold". For us, this question didn't even arise, because it was and is clear to us: his son Akram, born and raised in the south of France and who has been running the business activities of his father's company for some time,...

Baltic Sea: Russian special unit for underwater reconnaissance visits

Baltic Sea: Russian special unit for underwater reconnaissance visits

Posted by | 20 May 2024 | , , | 0

Another eye-catching visitor is likely to keep the Baltic Sea neighbours busy. On 13 May 2024, the "Tchusovoy", GS 31 (project 1454), was photographed in the Great Belt by Michael Nitz. In Russian terminology, it is referred to as a 'hydroacoustic reconnaissance vessel', also known as a 'small reconnaissance vessel'. The ship, which displaces 1,700 tonnes and is just under sixty metres long, looks superficially like a Sorum-class ocean-going tug, project 0745P, of which the Russian Navy has 14 units according to Military Balance 2023. On closer inspection, the special design of the stern, which is used to deploy and accommodate its towing sonar, becomes apparent. The special design of the stern as well as the possibility of...

German government formulates national port strategy

German government formulates national port strategy

Posted by | 20 May 2024 | , , , | 0

After many previous announcements and protracted negotiations, the German government has finally formulated and published a national port strategy. It was welcomed by the federal states, all associations and other stakeholders, albeit with reservations due to the lack of statements on the financing of the ambitious goals. In general, it is said that efficient ports are an important prerequisite for Germany's economic success and general prosperity. They would not only secure the supply of industry, trade and the population, but also directly and indirectly secure up to 5.6 million jobs nationwide.
