NDR in Hamburg reported on 14 January 2023 that the operators of traditional ships are looking for new volunteers. "We need young talent in all areas, for all historic ships - and the harbour railway," said Claus Liesner, Chairman of the Board of the Hamburg Maritime Foundation (SHM).

"After their active service at sea, many former seafarers have continued to be actively involved on our ships in the past," said Liesner, but there is an increasing lack of new recruits. "From engine drivers to deckhands to ship's command, we are looking for volunteers - for all...

Neubau 782 der Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) wird nach einem kurzen Dockaufenthalt zur mehrtägigen Testfahrt auf Nord- und Ostsee aufbrechen und nimmt zuvor Kurs auf Bremerhaven.

Fire defence on container ships: Recommendations of the DNV

Posted by | 18 Jan 2023 | , , , | 0

What is - or at least should be - a technical design principle on grey ships and a daily routine in service operations, does not have to be just as consistently decisive on civilian-crewed, cost-oriented cargo and tanker ships: Fire safety in harbour and sea operations. Fire hazard on container ships In the civilian sector, it is less the handling of flammable and explosive substances inside the ship than the cargo in the cargo or container hold. In the case of containers in particular, cargo knowledge and monitoring is rarely available at all times. This is why the topic of "Containership Fire Safety" is currently on the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) two-year agenda: In the subcommittee...

Dezember vom Staatspräsidenten Vladimir Putin aus seiner Residenz in Novo-Ogaryovo 15 Kilometer westlich von Moskau per Videokonferenz gezündet: In Dienst gestellt und der Marine übergeben wurden der Minensucher "Anatoly Shlemov" (Pazifikflotte), die Korvette "Grad" (Baltische Flotte) und das strategische Atom-U-Boot K-553 "Generalissimo Suvorov", das sechste der acht mit jeweils 16 ballistischen Interkontinental-Raketen (Bulava 30 / SS-NX-32) nuklear bestückten "Borey"-Klasse (Pazifikflotte). Balsam für die Seele Zuvor versprach...

The multi-purpose frigates of the "Admiral Gorshkov" class (project 22350, 135 metres, 4,500 tonnes) were to be built in 2014 in a series of fifteen units and quickly replace various specialised, but also expensive and complex old-build frigates. This was the time of the launch and christening of the second platform with the name "Admiral Kasatonov" - the "Admiral Gorshkov" took another two years to enter service. However, it was also the year in which the keel was laid at the Severnaya Verf in St. Petersburg for construction number three, the "Admiral Golovko", which is now undergoing functional trials in the Baltic Sea after being fitted out until November. Originally, the...
