On Tuesday, 8 November 2022 at 9.30 a.m., the Brandenburg-class submarine frigate "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" (F123) returned to Wilhelmshaven from a NATO mission.

The north German NVL Group (Naval Vessels Luerssen) issued a press release at the weekend announcing the modernisation of its shipyard infrastructure at the Wolgast site.

The recent visit of a Russian mega-yacht to Hong Kong has sparked speculation that the city could become a haven for oligarchs hiding from Western sanctions. The "Nord" - a 500 million dollar vessel owned by Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov - spent just over three weeks in Chinese territory before departing last Thursday. Mordashov is one of the businessmen close to Russian President Vladimir Putin who was sanctioned by the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The seizure of several yachts and other assets around the world in 2022...

The maritime border has been a point of contention for...
