Netherlands - private security companies to protect KRITIS

Netherlands - private security companies to protect KRITIS

Posted by | 10 Dec 2024 | , , | 0

The Dutch Ministry of Defence plans to recruit additional personnel and equipment from private companies to temporarily strengthen the security of its critical infrastructure (KRITIS) in its part of the North Sea. This decision is based on reports from the Dutch Military Intelligence Service (MIVD) that the North Sea infrastructure, such as gas pipelines and wind turbines, is the target of Russian sabotage activities. In April, the MIVD stated that Russia could also attempt to sabotage the numerous data hubs in the North Sea region. This measure is intended to bridge the gap until two new multifunctional support ships can be integrated into the navy, probably in 2026, according to a ministry spokesperson. The ministry left open with...

Aircraft carrier on a harbour visit in Hamburg - one more thing!

Posted by | 26 Nov 2024 | , , , | 2

The Royal Navy aircraft carrier "HMS Queen Elizabeth" left the port of Hamburg again on Saturday, 23 November 2024, without any significant incidents - except for one minor blemish. As confirmed by the Territorial Command of the German Armed Forces in Berlin, a drone with a diameter of over 2 metres was spotted above the aircraft carrier moored at the Steinwerder cruise terminal on Friday. Such aircraft are launched from the DronePort of the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) not far from the harbour museum, but this drone was not one of them. In addition to the harbour facilities, which were guarded by the Homeland Security Company, and the water-side security provided by the water police, the airspace around the "HMS Queen" was of course also...

For shipspotters - British aircraft carrier visits Hamburg

A rare guest is expected in the port of Hamburg: Aircraft carrier HMS "Queen Elizabeth" (65,600 tonnes) of the British Royal Navy is part of a NATO exercise and is making its inaugural visit to Hamburg. The aircraft carrier was originally due to arrive in Hamburg on Monday morning. However, according to the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), the arrival was delayed due to strong winds. Contrary to expectations, however, the aircraft carrier arrived at the cruise terminal in Steinwerder at around 15:00. Steinwerder was chosen because the water police can shield the warship particularly well there. Prior to this, the harbour area was searched and the harbour basin submerged. In addition to the police, the...
