The US Assistant Secretary of Defence for International Security Affairs hosted a three-way signing ceremony for bilateral defence cooperation roadmaps with representatives from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in mid-December 2023.

Norwegen: Bleiben Offshore-Gasvorkommen ungenutzt?

Norwegen: Bleiben Offshore-Gasvorkommen ungenutzt?

Ende 2022 gab es über 80 Gasfunde vor der norwegischen Küste auf einer geschätzten Fläche von mehr als 1,2 Milliarden Quadratmetern. Obwohl viele dieser Vorkommen ein beträchtliches Wertpotenzial aufwiesen, sei es höchst ungewiss, wie viel Erdgas tatsächlich gefördert werden könne, so die norwegische Erdöldirektion (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD)). Als Herausforderungen nannte die NPD unter anderem komplexe Lagerstätten und hohe Produktionskosten. Etwa zwei Drittel der Gasvorkommen des Landes sind noch nicht gefördert worden. Und obwohl die Produktion in den nächsten fünf Jahren voraussichtlich hoch bleiben wird, werde sie danach "ziemlich schnell" zurückgehen, so die Erwartung der Behörde. Deshalb mache es...

Manila and Beijing delivered...

Spain's government has given the green light for the stationing of two more US Navy ships, bringing the number of US destroyers stationed in Rota to six. In 2014, the USA began stationing a total of four Arleigh Burke-class destroyers (DDG 51-119, max. 9700 tonnes displacement) permanently in Europe. The mission of this destroyer squadron is to implement NATO's strategic missile defence shield against ballistic missile attacks (National Missile Defence) in the Mediterranean region. It is currently permanently stationed in Rota (near Cádiz): USS Roosevelt (DDG-80 since 2020), USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51 since 2021), USS Paul Ignatius (DDG-117 since 2022) and USS Bulkeley (DDG-84...
