Saab and Damen cooperation to export C-71 submarines Saab and Damen Shipyards have agreed to export the advanced Expeditionary C-71 submarines. CEO of Damen Shipyards Arnout Damen and CEO of Saab Micael Johansson made the decision this week to export together the submarine, which has been developed for the Royal Netherlands Navy to replace the current Walrus class. The agreement doubles the long-term prospect of employment and income for the Netherlands Naval Cluster with the replacement of the Walrus submarines by Saab-Damen. Saab and Damen have been working together since 2015 to build, modernise, and maintain the new expeditionary submarine for the Royal Netherlands Navy. This project is so much more than delivering four submarines. Dutch strategic autonomy is, given the geopolitical developments at the moment, vital in strategic projects like the submarine replacement, with the Dutch Naval base being the single remaining self-sufficient defence industry cluster in the Netherlands DTIB. The two companies have now also agreed to offer their advanced Expeditionary submarines to Canada. A country in the initial phase of a similar process to replace their diesel-electric submarines. This offers the Netherland government a strategic best choice in line with its Defence industry Strategy 2018, several Parliamentary Letters on this topic and the important National Sector Agenda for the Maritime Industry. The expeditionary submarine is based on the successful, proven, and future-proof design of the A26 submarines. It incorporates the latest capabilities and technologies, while the modular design allows room for customisability as well as new technologies as they develop, ensuring relevance for decades to come. Through Saab’s business area Kockums, Sweden has a long tradition of producing world-class submarines. For this new expeditionary design, Saab is working closely with Damen Shipyards and a range of Dutch suppliers and is supported by the United Kingdom. Four countries currently operate submarines and submarine technology designed by Saab: Sweden, Australia, Japan, and Singapore.

Good article about China's naval version of Wagner Group. The PAFMM is just their privateer force or 'militia' that they can use the way they see fit. Pretty large naval force as well.... Quote: ...these fishing vessels cannot be counted as warships, and yet they enjoy the sovereign immunity of their flag state, which is precisely the reason China has organized them—by some estimates, up to 200,000—into the PAFMM.

A great primer by Helen Davidson on China's Maritime Militia, the PRC's primary means of grey zone warfare across the IndoPacific. Quotes from Gregory Poling leader of the amazing team at Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)'s Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative. "The maritime militia has existed for decades but has become more professional, better equipped, and more militarised under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, who has overhauled China’s armed forces since taking power in 2012. It is made up of two main forces. One is the professional fleet of at least 100 purpose-built boats which have the appearance of fishing vessels. The other fleet, known as the Spratly Backbone Fishing Vessels (SBFV), is a larger group of actual fishing boats that operate out of ports across Hainan and Guangdong, and have been drafted into China’s missions. The professional fleet consists of stronger boats with better, often military-grade equipment. They’re usually visible on satellite tracking platforms swarming around disputed locations. The SBFV is harder to spot, and usually have lower grade satellite transmitters or none at all. Some have had structural and technological upgrades."

An oil spill from the sunken naval vessel HMNZS Manawanui is already affecting the surrounding environment. Within its natural habitat, a sea turtle is seen struggling amid the spilled fuel and debris from the wreck. #merchantnavy #lifeonship #maritime #shiplife #lifeatsea #navigation #anchor #seafarer #shipspotting #marineengineer #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #maritimeinnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering

? Greek shipyards are making a comeback! Greek shipyards have been revived, heralding new growth in the country’s maritime cluster and reinforcing Greece’s prospects as a regional maritime hub. Overcoming decades of legal and financial hurdles, Greece’s main shipyards – on Syros, at Elefsina, and Skaramangas – have drawn significant investor interest. ONEX group plans $550M investments in Syros and Elefsina. ?? The naval modernization program and the rise of Greek maritime manufacturers further bolster this growth. As a leading shipping nation, Greece’s maritime sector contributes 7.9% to GDP and supports nearly 90,000 jobs, with Athens and Piraeus as key shipping centers. #MaritimeRevival #GreeceNews
