mtu - Rolls-Royce looks back on 25 years with Series 2000 and 4000 In a press release, RR-mtu emphasises the sustainability of its old but efficient engine series. Not only do they want to move into a climate-neutral future with them, but they also have to develop them further, because there is no recognisable alternative to the "combustion engine" drive type on ships. Whether MAN, SAAB - Scania or other suppliers of diesel engines: the future of the companies depends on how we operate ships on the world's oceans. With over 100,000 engines sold and more than 320 million operating hours, the mtu Series 2000 and 4000 engines are reason to celebrate says...

The Emirate of Qatar has received the first of the corvettes ordered from Fincantieri. The type ship is the "Al Zubarah", which is also the namesake of the class that Qatar ordered from the Italian shipbuilder in 2016 as part of the national naval procurement programme.

After 50 years of the Sea King and 40 years of the Sea Lynx, they are converting both helicopter fleets to the NH 90. The Sea King will be replaced by the Sea Lion, the naval transport variant and currently the most modern version of the NH 90, while the Sea Lynx will go one step further. Here, the NH 90 is to be...

Maritime Cluster Northern Germany calls for support The work of seafarers on tankers, container ships, cruise ships and fishing vessels is hard and full of privation. Shift work, constant time changes and long periods away from their families make life difficult for seafarers and put them under particular physical and mental strain.

It supports the 29 stations of the Seamen's Mission in Germany and abroad so that they can do good to the seafarers. The Seamen's Mission regularly visits the seafarers on their ships while they are moored in the harbours or during the lockage at the...
