Rheinmetall supplies new ship simulators for naval training The defence and technology group Rheinmetall handed over the first of seven simulation systems for the Naval Operations School (MOS) in Bremerhaven in 2024. The so-called Training Equipment for Training Navigation (AATN) is intended to enable decentralised, on-site training. In addition to Bremerhaven, further facilities are being built in Flensburg (MSM), Wilhelmshaven, Kiel, Eckernförde and Warnemünde.

In recent months, however, it has often been in the headlines for rather negative reasons. Time and again, damage to the lock gates or incidents involving ships have caused a stir. Technical defects regularly lead to ships ramming into the embankment or becoming stranded in the canal, blocking the waterway. Such incidents are reminiscent of the "Ever Given", which blocked the Suez Canal for six days in March 2021 - with noticeable consequences worldwide. Another accident occurred at the beginning of the year: the French "Eco Levant" ran aground...
