Balen, maar meko is denk ik meer fregat dan die Sigma.

Dat ben ik niet met je eens  En de Brazilianen zochten korvetten geen fregatten, TKMS heeft de deal nog niet binnen maar ze zijn preferred bidder.

TKMS heeft de order voor 4 korvetten voor de Braziliaanse marine gewonnen. Helaas (weer) geen order voor Damen met de SIGMA's.

LIMA 2019: Muhibbah Engineering's Mobile Offshore Base Project



At LIMA 2019, the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace exhibition, Malaysian company Muhibbah Engineering is showcasing its Mobile Offshore Base project.

Muhibbah Engineering leveraged years of know-how and experience in the oil & gas offshore field to come up with its Mobile Offshore Base (MOB) concept.

The MOB would act as a forward operating base (FOB) which can be deployed to an area of interest, delivering extended range of operation, logistics and coverage supported by various sensors. Sensor suites may include long range maritime surveillance radar, electro-optic system, air surveillance radar... The MOB comes with a dedicated combat information center (CIC) which can be linked with (and deploy) various platforms such as autonomous vehicles, helicopters and fast interceptor craft.

The MOB can be deployed (under its own power, or towed by tug boats) to an area with a maximum water depth of 100 meters. The leg are 135 meters long. In case of high sea states, the MOB can be raised above sea levels and sea swell.



According to its designer, the MOB provides an effective and real time C4ISR (Command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) therefore increasing the situational awarness capability to security forces. The idea behind the concept is to support maritime operations where conventional land bases are not available.

Missions of the MOB include sea control, search and rescue, air defense (with containerized launchers), disaster relief, forward logistics operations... The platform can accommodate 150 military personnel in normal conditions, and up to 420 people in disaster relief configuration.

LIMA 2019: MTC Pushing Its Mobile Offshore Base Station



As situation in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZONE) remains challenging the RMN and the MMEA (Malaysian Coast Guard) might opt to procure a further two mobile sea bases to complement the existing ones: the PL Tun Sharifah Rodziah which is based on a rig and the KA Tun Azizan which is actually a large surface vessel.

With this in mind, the local shipyard Marine Technology Company (MTC) is always promoting its Mobile Offshore Base Station. The MTC MOBS is based on a self-propelled barge made of welded steel. It has a length of 62 meters, a beam of 18.6 meters and a beam of 3 meters.

The Mobile Offshore Base Station (MOBS) integrates fully air-conditioned accommodation and cabin area for 40 troops on the main deck. These three-stage « structure » includes galley, control room, mess room, and meeting room. Autonomy is provided by a 2000 m3 fuel oil tank and a 200 m3 fresh water tank.

The MOBS is also fitted with a large helicopter pad placed forward and adapted to the RMN H125M Fennec and Super Lynx 300 choppers.

Lastly, a stern ramp is fitted under the structure's first floor to launch and recover a Fast Interceptor Craft such as the CB90 currently in service with the RMN. The main deck adds two RHIBs that are to be put at sea through dedicated launch and recovery systems.

NAVAL GROUP AT COLOMBIAMAR 2019



From 13th to 15th March 2019, Naval Group participates to Colombiamar in Cartagena de Indias.
Naval Group will showcase the state-of-art innovations created for modern navies, demonstrating its capabilities in modern military ship and submarine building along with high tech solutions for systems and competence as leading naval integrator. Come and meet us at booth # 60!


Contributing to naval and industrial autonomy in Colombia and Latin America
Naval Group is the European leader in naval defence and has been the main partner of the French Navy for over four centuries. Naval Group is one of the rare players in the naval industry to have the capacity to design, build, service and upgrade surface combatants as well as submarines, but also naval infrastructures and naval bases. It is one of the few manufacturers in the world able to offer fully armed ships with their combat systems and the equipment necessary for their engagement in theatres of operations.

Naval Group is an international and global player that strengthens its footprint worldwide through its presence on 4 continents and in 18 countries to ensure a sustainable presence close to its clients. Naval Group is significantly increasing its multi-domestic presence in Colombia and Latin America to strengthen its long-lasting cooperation with the navies in the region.

Naval Group has been working with Colombia on the modernisation of the Padilla frigates since 2008 and has set up a Regional Representative Office in Bogota to reinforce its partnership with the naval defence industry in the region and as well as its participation to the naval defence projects launched by the Colombian navy and neighbouring countries.

Naval Group is currently competing in Colombia for two fleet replacement programs. First, the Colombian Navy initiated in 2015 the replacement of the Padilla frigates (PES=Plataforma Estrategica de Superficie). This program requires the new ships to be built locally which will involve the development of a naval cluster through intergovernmental, industrial, academic and scientific cooperation. On the longer run, the Colombian Navy will also need to replace its submarine fleet.

Naval Group also has a unique experience of successful transfers of technology for the construction of both surface ships and submarines, but also of naval facilities. Egypt launched its first Gowind® built in Egypt on September 6, 2018 and Brazil launched its first Brazilian built Scorpene® submarine in December 2018, while India already operates its own submarines at sea. Transfer of technology has also been performed –or is currently on track- in Australia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Singapore.

In South America, Naval group has recently reinforced its presence through two major contracts with Chile and Brazil, thanks to our Scorpene® submarine, the most suitable solution to replace U209 submarines operating in the region.

Naval Group is also proud of its successes in the combat management system (CMS) retrofits on U209 submarines in the region which demonstrates its ability to work closely with the navies and local industrial partners, even on submarines not of its own design.



Naval Group presents its leading technologies at Colombiamar 2019
Naval Group is a naval systems provider and integrator, one of the few companies in the world with the ability to deliver complete warships with their combat systems and all the critical equipment necessary to engage naval power in a theatre of operations. It is involved at every stage in the product life cycle.

The stand on Colombiamar will reflect this comprehensive offer with a focus on surface ships and innovative solutions.


Gowind®: a sea-proven international success for PES
Gowind® is the multimission frigate proposed to Colombia for PES program. Gowind® is Naval Group's response to 21st century defence and security challenges. The platform combines high survivability characteristics with outstanding anti-air (AAW), anti-surface (ASuW) and anti- submarine (ASW) warfare performances thanks to the MU90 and to the CANTO®-V.

The Gowind® is operated with the SETIS®. This state-of-the-art combat is combat-proven on the French Navy's FREMM frigates and interoperable with NATO systems. It provides the operator with the best management and decision-making aids, ensuring the Gowind® supremacy over conventional and asymmetric threats.

Nine of the ten Gowind® vessels contracted are being built with foreign partners in Malaysia and Egypt. The first Gowind® built in Egypt was launched on September 6, 2018.


SCORPENE®: combat-proven oceanic submarines for the replacement of the Colombian fleet
Scorpène® is the conventional submarine proposed to Colombia for its fleet replacement. Naval Group combines unique platform and combat system skills to provide operational superiority and safety benefiting from the French Navy legacy. Naval Group contributes to strenghten the sovereignty of its customers through long-term partnerships, industrial cooperation and through-life support services, as proven by its strong credentials.

Scorpène® is ideally suited for action and operational effectiveness. Robust and enduring, it's an ocean-going submarine also designed for shallow waters operations. Multipurpose, it fulfils the entire scope of missions such as Anti-Surface and Anti-Submarine Warfare, special operations, offensive minelaying and intelligence gathering.

Standing as the latest generation of combat system, SUBTICS® addresses the growing challenges of modern submarines missions in blue and shallow waters such as Anti-Surface and Anti-Submarine Warfare, intelligence gathering, land-attack or deep strike.

Highly modular and scalable, SUBTICS® can be integrated either on new platforms or as part of modernisation programmes for existing submarines.

Indonesia Leans Towards Iver Huitfeldt Class for Frigate Acquisition
'
A variant of Denmark's Iver Huitfeldt class has emerged as a front-runner in Indonesia's USD720 million two-frigate acquisition programme. Development follows a defence industry co-operation agreement signed between Denmark's Odense Maritime Technology, and the Indonesian Navy's Naval Design Centre.

Defence planners from the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD) are increasingly leaning towards a variant of the Iver Huitfeldt class in their quest to acquire two more frigates for the country's navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL).

The frigates are being acquired as part of the second phase of the Minimum Essential Force (MEF) modernisation blueprint, which runs from 2015 to 2019. Indonesia acquired two SIGMA 10514 vessels from Damen that now serve as the Martadinata class as part of this programme, but the country has a requirement for at least four more hulls in the longer term as part of wider MEF requirements.

A piece of unclassified correspondence between the country's defence minister, Ryamizard Ryacudu, and the cabinet secretary of President Joko Widodo that was provided to Jane's on 13 March made the case for the Iver Huitfeldt class as one that features "reliable combat capabilities, and can operate in the extremities of Indonesia's exclusive economic zone".

"In reference to the TNI-AL's frigate acquisition programme, and how we are now approaching the final year of the 2015-19 strategic plan without a decision, we hereby would like to request for a closed meeting [with the cabinet] to further discuss an acquisition plan for these ships," the correspondence reads.

The meeting, which was originally requested for 5 March 2019, would have also been used by MoD officials to further present their case for selecting the variant of the Iver Huitfeldt class offered by Danish company Odense Maritime Technology (OMT), including its technical specifications.

Dit zijn weer 2 vreemde schepen voor de Indo marine. Waar zijn die lui toch mee bezig.

Een verzameling van zo veel mogelijk verschillende speeltjes aan te kopen om vervolgens amper operationeel inzetbaar te zijn door gebrek aan alles. 
Dit zien we al jaren bij alle onderdelen van Indonesië, het is een grote collectie van allerlei verschillende vaar, vlieg en voertuigen in kleine hoeveelheden.
