The German Armed Forces Procurement Office has purchased another used ocean-going tug for the German Navy.

Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft-Nobiskrug gets a new management team. Robert Fischer von Mollard becomes Managing Director of both companies; Michel Bollmann becomes Technical Director.

Minister Pistorius present at the keel-laying ceremony for the first Class 126 frigate "Niedersachsen" It is a "milestone in the largest procurement project in the history of the German Navy".
