Der in der Nacht vom 25. auf den 26. Juli vor der niederländischen Küste in Brand geratene Autofrachter Fremantle Highway konnte nach über einer Woche, in der sich das Schiff in kritischem Zustand befand, in den nächstgelegenen niederländischen Hafen Eemshaven eingebracht und dort vertäut werden. Dieser Vorfall hat tagelang besonders die Küstenbewohner alarmiert, weil wegen der Nähe zum Unesco-Weltnaturerbe Wattenmeer eine Umweltkatastrophe befürchtet wurde. Auf dem unter Panama-Flagge fahrenden, fast 60 000 GT großen und 200 Meter langen Autotransporter Fremantle Highway war von Bremerhaven kommend 27 Kilometer nördlich der Insel Ameland auf einem der Fahrzeugdecks ein Feuer ausgebrochen.

Marine Alutech, of course, known for its fast boats in the service of the authorities. You wouldn't expect the size of the Hamburg trade fair for maritime technology SMM or the density of experts at the military-oriented Undersea Defence Technology (UDT), but somehow it seemed as if...

The Ukraine war and the Black Sea

At first glance, the Russian-Ukrainian war appears to be a purely land-based conflict. However, the epochal conflict also has a maritime dimension. When Russian President Putin brought the "Great" or state war back to Europe on 24 February 2022, a new era began, and not just in European history. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's words about a turning point in world politics describe this very aptly indeed, even if it still does not seem to have really sunk in in some people's minds. So far, there is no end in sight to the war in Ukraine, which means that we do not know what will happen next or what the end will look like....
