The International Maritime Museum Hamburg (IMMH) will open the "sunken treasures of the Monte Olivia" to the public from 1 June 2023. The "Monte Olivia" The 160-metre-long ship was launched by Blohm&Voss on 28 October 1924 and was put into service in 1925 by the Hamburg-Südamerikanische Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft (HSDG), or Hamburg Süd for short, as a passenger ship for 2,500 passengers on cruises. Returning home from Santos in Brazil after the outbreak of war, the "Monte Olivia" managed to break through the blockade to Hamburg in October 1939. In the same year, all German ships were captured by the Kriegsmarine and utilised for various purposes as transporters, auxiliary warships, accommodation ships, etc. The "Monte...

As reported by Informationsdienst Wissenschaft (idw) on 2 May 2023, the "Maritime Cyber Security" research group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics (FKIE) is building a maritime security laboratory together with the Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services (Fraunhofer CML). The aim is to simulate, recognise and defend against cyber attacks on ships. Ships as potential targets Cyberattacks on industry and critical infrastructures are on the rise worldwide. Ships, which transport billions of tonnes of goods around the world every year, are also potential targets as part of global supply chains. Overall, the need for networking is increasing - be it to optimise route management...

Sustainable ship recycling - an opportunity for Germany?

Sustainable ship recycling - an opportunity for Germany?

DNV press release In its 2021-2025 coalition agreement, the current German government writes: "We are strengthening shipbuilding across the entire value chain, including ship recycling, as the industrial core in Germany." The Deutsche Nautische Verein von 1868 e. V. (DNV) and the Maritime Cluster Norddeutschland e. V. (MCN) very much welcome this statement, as we see considerable challenges in the strengthening of the entire value chain proclaimed by the federal government - in particular the establishment of sustainable ship recycling - in Germany, from which an urgent need for action can be derived. As an important shipping location with the great significance of its ports for the flow of goods in an export-orientated economy, Germany is...

Humanitarian aid during NATO mission On Tuesday, 14 March 2023 at 10 a.m., the tender "Elbe" is expected back in its home port of Kiel after participating in the Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG 2) "NATO Support Aegean" mission. The crew of the "Elbe" will certainly not forget the last few weeks. After almost five months of deployment in the Aegean, there was another very special mission in the last few weeks. The reason for this was the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The ports of Iskenderun and Mersin in Turkey have been called at unscheduled in recent weeks in order to help the people affected by the...

USA: Container gantry cranes are the new Huawei

USA: Container gantry cranes are the new Huawei

Gepostet von | 13 Mar 2023 | , , | 0

Large, modern container crane systems made in the USA are very expensive and quite rare, but every up-and-coming port needs them. Unless, of course, they come from China. There, these cranes are built en masse, packed with locally manufactured electronics and then offered worldwide at unbeatable prices with a market share of 70%. Video-supported functions allow efficient handling processes - harbour laytime is expensive time. Undoubtedly without ulterior motives What had probably never been questioned before, however, were such unpatriotic doubts as: Who has access to the stored video streams and what possibility of external intervention is there for the most important electronic switching elements of these complex high-tech devices? With the looks...
