Hamburg: Hapag-Lloyd plans sailing container ships

Posted by | 18 Dec 2023 | , , , | 0

The Hamburg-based shipping company Hapag-Lloyd says it is working on plans for cargo ships with sail propulsion. Specifically, this involves container ships with a length of around 260 metres and a capacity of 4,500 containers. A total of eight masts will be distributed between the container stacks, four on the port side and four on the starboard side. The sails will be pulled out of the mast like a roller blind (furling main) and set automatically from the deck. This means that a ship planned in this way will have more sail area than the German Navy's training ship, the "Gorch Fock". In addition, an engine will be installed that can run on green methanol (e-fuel). In the coming months...

Nordholz: World's most modern helicopter simulator handed over

A dream birthday "I had a dream," said Captain Broder Nielsen, Commander of the Naval Aviation Command in Nordholz, at the ceremonial handover of the simulator for the NTH Sea Lion from CAE to the German Navy on 14 December. The creation of the world's most modern simulator for helicopters turned out differently than he had dreamed, but was nevertheless a day of great joy. "We have put up with three decades of deficits," he said, and now this result is "top notch". The state-of-the-art flight simulator centre is also attractive for young people who want to choose the navy and aviation. Relieved,...

London: Norway and the UK announce maritime alliance to provide sustainable support to Ukraine in building coastal and maritime defence The Norwegian Minister of Defence met his British counterpart on 11 December 2023 to jointly present the Maritime Capability Coalition (MCC). The aim is to enable Ukraine to exercise better control over its coast and the neighbouring sea area in the future. Russia should then no longer be able to use the Black Sea as a base for missile attacks on the Ukrainian mainland. Open sea routes and free trade are important, not only for the Ukrainian economy, but also in order to transport grain to the...

Seabed Infrastructure Security: Northern Europe gets going!

Posted by | 13 Dec 2023 | , , , | 0

Six northern European countries (Denmark, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden) are intensifying their cooperation in the field of maritime infrastructure. One part of this is the Seabed Security Experimentation Centre (SeaSEC), which has just been inaugurated in The Hague. The establishment of the SeaSEC is part of the Northern Naval Capability Cooperation (NNCC), which was officially ratified in Washington in early December 2023. The NNCC was established to strengthen the northern maritime industry and develop the best available systems and equipment. Rethinking PPPs Public, private and military partners are now working together to examine how important underwater infrastructure such as data cables, pipelines and platforms for fossil fuels and...
