Posted by | 6 Dec 2023 | , , , | 0

The multi-purpose combat ship "MKS 180", which has since been renamed "Frigate F126", saw the start of construction of its first unit on 5 December 2023. Just a few days before the end of the year, the start of production before 2024, which was promised when the contract was signed, was thus also realised. On 19 June 2020, the signatures were signed in Koblenz with which Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS, Netherlands) and the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) agreed on the construction of the multi-purpose combat ship "MKS 180". At that time, 5.72 billion euros were included in the federal budget. For this amount, Germany is procuring four identical frigates, two of which are equipped with the "ASW situation picture" mission module (ASW:...

With the HNLMS "Holland", the Dutch government has deployed the type ship of the four 108-metre-long and, at around 3,800 tonnes, frigate-sized ocean patrol vessels (OPV) of the same class to the Eastern Mediterranean. This means that the Netherlands, together with allies including the USA, the UK, France, Italy and Germany, is now also contributing to a maritime corridor so that humanitarian aid can reach Gaza. The aim is to secure the fragile regional stability from the sea and prevent further escalation. If an evacuation becomes necessary, the "Holland" can provide immediate support. The duration of its deployment depends on current developments...

The Polish Navy has been endeavouring to replace its submarines for some time and launched the "Orka" project in 2014. Since then, European naval shipbuilders have been trying in vain to secure an order. It was not until May 2023 that Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced his intention to initiate the purchase of submarines in 2023. South Korea as an option?

Geisternetze vor Rügen

Taucher der deutschen Naturschutzorganisation „Gesellschaft zur Rettung der Delphine e. V.“ (GRD) haben nach eigenen Angaben in den vergangenen Wochen mehrere Hundert Kilogramm alte Fischernetze aus der Ostsee geborgen. Tatort: Fahrwassertonne Eine Fahrwassertonne war bereits vor Jahren ca. acht Kilometer vor Rügen gesunken. In der Folge verfingen sich immer mehr sogenannte Geisternetze daran. Die Knäuel aus Netzen und Tauen wogen inzwischen mehrere Tonnen und konnten mit Hebesäcken aus etwa 30 Metern Tiefe geborgen werden. Aufgrund der beengten Situation an der Tonne und des zunehmend rauer werdenden Wetters sei es jedoch nicht gelungen, alle Netze zu bergen. Die Aktion soll...
