Thanks to an in- novative hull shape, this new SX 175 vessel Six of the world’s biggest arms import- ers are Asian countries. According to the Stockholm-based institute SIPRI, the share of Asia in global arms imports rose from 42 to 46 per cent during the period from 2011 to 2015, compared to the preceding 20-year period. The Middle East likewise increased its share by four per cent, while combined im- ports to America and Europe dropped by A new polar research vessel will soon be built by Cammell Laird shipyard in Great Britain. Steel cutting will begin in autumn 2016, and the ship is expected to be ready for deployment in 2019. “This 200-million- pound investment secures the UK’s posi- tion as a world leader in polar research and provides a major boost to shipbuild- ing in the North West,” said the British Minister for Universities and Science, Jo Johnson. His German counterpart Johanna Wanka has accepted the chal- lenge: after probing the market, she re- cently opened the tendering process for the construction of Germany’s new polar research and supply vessel “Polarstern”, an attractive project which is expected to be completed by 2020. smm-hamburg.com/od The energy sector refocuses The offshore industry is undergoing dramatic change. At the Offshore Dialogue during SMM, experts will examine the new market environment. Redoubling efforts in security and defence Tensions around the world are keeping the international community on its toes. Many countries are investing heavily in military equipment. roughly ten percentage points. For example, Vietnam moved up from 43rd to 8th place in the international ranking. “With these pur- chases Hanoi wants to protect its interests on the open seas,” says Sophie-Charlotte Fischer from the UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the Pacific. India’s weapon import activities stand out: the nation is buying three times as many type can operate under challenging weather conditions. Its helipads further expand the deployment options. The ships will be man- aged by Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement. These and other notable projects will pro- vide plenty of food for discussion at the Off- shore Dialogue held during SMM, as well as during the WindEnergy Hamburg trade fair which will take place at Europe’s wind en- ergy capital from 27 to 30 September. Europe leads the world in offshore wind energy installations and wants to maintain its leading position in ocean research as well. The gold rush is definitely over for the time being. The offshore oil and gas in- dustry is suffering massive losses due to the dramatic price drop, and many explo- ration projects have been put on hold. The supermajors are cutting back investments significantly. Shell reduced its spending by 8.5 billion dollars in 2015 and discontinued some of its less promising projects, includ- ing oil exploration in Alaska. The Brazilian national oil company Petrobras is cutting its investments until 2019 by 32 billion dollars. There are re- percussions for shipowners as well: with fewer projects requiring attention, many offshore supply vessels are sitting idle. The demand for new ships has declined accord- ingly: the Malaysian oil and gas company Petronas, for instance, has recently post- poned indefinitely the delivery of its second LNG production unit (FLNG) by the Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries. Food for discussion during SMM In the offshore wind segment, however, the situation looks much better: last year alone EU member countries added 3,035 mega- watts of offshore power generation capacity, more than twice as much as in 2014 (refer to diagram). The total offshore investment volume was 13.2 billion euros. But there is some uncertainty about the future. Giles Dickson, the CEO of the European Wind En- ergy Association (EWEA, now “WindEurope”), therefore demands “clear goals and initia- tives for the development of renewable en- ergy after 2020”. A new guideline announced by the EU commission might lend fresh im- petus to such plans. It will not only benefit arms as its regional rivals Pakistan and Chi- na, taking the top position in international weaponry imports with a 14 per cent share. To reduce dependency on imports, the coun- try is investing continuously in its domestic shipbuilding capabilities. The Pipavav ship- yard received the biggest order of all times in the private shipbuilding sector last year: three to four frigates of the Russian Talwar class with an improved design. Worth three billion dollars, the project exemplifies Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” in- itiative (see page 4). Australian plans to in- vest 195 billion Australian dollars (€126 bn) over the next 20 years include twelve new submarines as well as several frigates and patrol boats. According to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, the purpose is to “deliver a more potent, agile and engaged Austral- ian Defence Force that is ready to respond whenever our interests are threatened or our help is needed,” and to ensure peace across the Asia-Pacific region. A broad array of security topics Apart from their conventional tasks, coast guards and navies are increasingly deployed on non-military missions, from combating piracy to rescuing refugees. The MS&D conference on 7 September as part of SMM will address a broad array of security and defence topics. And while in exhibition hall B8 the focus is specifically on maritime security, many SMM exhibitors will showcase dual-use technology suited equally well to civil and naval shipping. smm-hamburg.com/msd 8 September 7 September Illustration: ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems Illustration: Siemens AG Innovation: The new SX 175 vessel type can operate under challenging weather conditions.
