Gepostet von | 31 Oct 2022 | , , , | 0

A few weeks ago, the RHEINLAND-PFALZ, the fourth and last Class 125 frigate, was commissioned. Time to take a look at the problems and successes of this huge project to date. Two high-profile events at the beginning of 2022 were emblematic of the progress made by the Class 125 frigates: firstly, the RHEINLAND-PFALZ, the fourth and final ship of the class, was accepted by the industry on 28 January, and secondly, a ship of the class was involved in the German Navy's "flying the flag" in the Baltic Sea at the beginning of March in connection with the Ukraine conflict. The Class 125 is now not only part of the familiar...

The shipyard landscape in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has long been characterised by ups and downs. Investors came, investors went. This year everything is different. With the Russian attack on Ukraine, Germany, the Bundeswehr and especially the German Navy were faced with a new security situation. By issuing the order "Everything that floats!", the inspector of the navy, Vice Admiral Jan C. Kaack, sent a clear message. Meanwhile, the Naval Command, together with the Naval Support Command and the Naval Arsenal, analysed the fleet's ability to hold out in all eventualities. The result shows an urgent need for action. The suspension of international obligations while at the same time participating in permanent...

Emergency rescue centre - better without a container

Emergency rescue centre - better without a container

The German Navy is taking another important step into the future with the new emergency rescue centre. The focus is on modernisation and efficiency. The loss of the Naval Rescue Centre (Merz), which was part of the FRANKFURT AM MAIN task force provider (EGV), in 2015 due to a major fire in a shipyard hall made it necessary to procure a new one. The development of the new rescue centre is based on the experience gained with the container modules Marine Operations Rescue Centre I and II in the technical operational network with the task force supply vessels BERLIN and FRANKFURT AM MAIN since 2002. The rescue centre is now integrated in a deckhouse that is permanently connected to the upper deck and the ship's superstructure and provides the necessary rescue services as part of the...

Repair of naval vessels in Bremerhaven

Repair of naval vessels in Bremerhaven

Bredo Dry Docks in Bremerhaven looks back on a long tradition of repairing naval vessels. The shipyard developed from IVG Schiffs- und Motorenreparaturwerk, which was founded in 1957 and renamed Motorenwerke Bremerhaven in 1962. MWB was created from this in 1994. The company was already servicing and repairing naval vessels of all types, from speedboats to frigates. MWB's ship technology division was merged with Rickmers Lloyd Dockbetrieb in 2013 to form German Dry Docks. This included four of its own docks in Bremerhaven and a co-operation with the Lloyd shipyard for two further large docks. Between 2013 and 2016, numerous naval vessels were docked by the...

In July, Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft celebrated its 150th anniversary. Thanks to the financial commitment of investor Lars Windhorst, the employees are hoping for a secure future. The recent times that lie behind Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) were characterised by little optimism. On the contrary, a mood of crisis has dominated the last few years and the traditional company has been on the brink of collapse on several occasions. However, the old shipyard on the fjord draws strength from its location opposite the Mürwik Naval Academy, its location within sight of an ancient harbour and, in particular, from its staff, the strong bond that has long existed with the men and women who work here and the...
