Ocean Governance - Germany is committed to protecting the oceans

Ocean Governance - Germany is committed to protecting the oceans

Germany is committed to protecting the oceans and to the fair use of the sea. Maritime armed forces can also contribute to the enforcement of rules. A German frigate in the Mediterranean - under the NATO Sea Guardian mandate - could be deployed more easily to ensure comprehensive maritime security and to enforce fair and sustainable use of the seas than is currently the case in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. The deployment of the navy to protect shipping, critical maritime infrastructure or natural resources and the fragile marine ecosystem from criminal and hybrid, i.e. not clearly military, threats would take place outside of a corresponding international mandate in a legal framework.

Military pastor with new tasks

Discharge in a service on board On Tuesday 14 November, the Protestant military pastor Dr Katja Bruns was discharged by the Protestant military dean Ernst Raunig on the task force provider "Bonn". The farewell service was held in the presence of Dr Katja Bruns' family and the leaders of Operational Flotilla 2.

She not only led her office on land, but also spent a great deal of time...

Danish design: Multipurpose Arctic Frigate from OSK

Danish design: Multipurpose Arctic Frigate from OSK

Gepostet von | 16 Nov 2023 | , , | 0

The Kingdom of Denmark naturally also includes the Faroe Islands between Norway and Iceland as well as Greenland, which is over 50 times larger in area and part of the American continent (2166 million km2). Denmark has many years of experience in operating military ships in the Arctic Ocean. And because our northern neighbour is very flexible when it comes to military procurements, the naval development office OSK Design has created a very up-to-date concept for the next generation of the Multipurpose Arctic Frigate as a precautionary measure. Even if the ice on the polar ice caps melts, a ship like this will always be needed. The slightly wider workhorse (125 metres long, 18 metres...

Der rund 80 Kilometer lange Panamakanal bleibt absehbar ein Nadelöhr Die wichtige Handelsstraße für den Warentransport von Asien an die Ostküste der USA passieren in normalen Zeiten etwa 14.000 Schiffe pro Jahr; über fünf Prozent des Welthandels, jährlich über eine halbe Milliarde Tonnen Fracht. Doch weil es so wenig regnet, sinkt der Wasserstand. Die aufgezeichneten Niederschläge für Oktober sind mit minus 41% die niedrigsten seit 1950. 2023 ist damit auch das zweittrockenste Jahr im gleichen Zeitraum.[ds_preview] Wartezeiten im Panamakanal sprunghaft angestiegen Die Panamakanal-Behörde hatte Anfang 2023 damit begonnen, Schifffahrtsbeschränkungen zu erlassen, um aufgrund einer erneut absehbaren Dürre Wasser zu...
