“How to follow the Russians?”: Norwegian largest ship banned from going to sea

The construction of the largest ship of the Norwegian Navy required more than 10 years and approximately $ 250 million. However, after five months of service, its operation was banned.

According to Aftenposten, the latest integrated supply ship KMN Maud with a displacement of 27,5 thousand tons is capable of transporting 9,3 million liters of fuel, as well as 400 tons of cargo, including ammunition; It has its own workshop, a hangar for two helicopters, an operating room and a hospital with 44 beds.

In May, he was baptized. But now it will not be able to go to sea at least until the second quarter of 2020, until malfunctions and shortcomings are eliminated.

The Norwegian certification organization DNV GL banned the use of the ship due to the fact that it poses a danger to the crew. The inspectors found the unsatisfactory condition of the material and technical base and the lack of proper maintenance.

Experts believe this was caused by a two-year downtime at the dock of the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering shipyard, which barely survived bankruptcy. During this time, the ship was not properly “cared for”.

It’s very disappointing that the ship should be moored in just five months

- said the head of the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs and defense Anniken Whitfeldt, who had already become his godmother.

In her words, this promises problems for combat potential. fleet amid the loss of the frigate Helge Ingstad, which will go to scrap after a collision with a tanker.

As Stole Ulriksen of the Naval Academy notes, the temporary loss of KMN Maud is a blow to “Norway’s great ambitions to contribute to NATO forces.” According to him, more frigates cannot do without a supply ship, and a smaller number is unacceptable, because you need to "monitor what the Russians are doing":

We never know when the Russians will sail, and then the frigates must be ready.

Is this a boat named after Queen Maud?

Well done. It is better to spend money than to pay with the blood of sailors for the mistakes of shipbuilders.

It is better not to make mistakes during the operation of the ship, which lead to similar consequences, colleague. But the main emphasis in the article is not on caring for personnel, but on the fact that the condition of the ship prevented its owners from once again bending to the owners!

[Pereira]

I approve. On the coast will be whole.

[Victor March 47]

The Vikings completely lost the coast. Don't tar your drakkar for so long! Do not feed the trawls. So get it.

Do they have any imperfections?

You're kidding. This happens only in Russia. In the opinion of some, especially "advanced, with good faces."

[DMB-2020]

Well done, at least - everything is honest and open. This is not something to swim into the sea on Chinese tractor diesels and break off in the open sea, so that later the tugboats drag the pride of the Navy for repairs under the laughter and hooting.

Do you know what is swimming?
And the ships - go!

you Ukraine only everything swims)))))))))))

I wonder if we have warships also under the Registers of the Russian Federation? dnv gl - a union of early veritas, gl and some other register.

The Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) is included in the IACS, as well as the DNV GL.

correct, but that is not the answer. As far as I know, our "civil register" has nothing to do with the navy - there are other requirements and criteria for ships than for ships. or also has and can prohibit potkov from going to sea on the basis of insufficient number of imo symbols? that's the question.

Well ... as far as I understand in sausage scraps, this Norwegian vessel is not just a warship :) it is a tanker, etc., of "integrated supply". From here and dance.

[Terran]

Yes, our ships of the auxiliary fleet are also built under the RMRS register, accepted by the register, and only then the military. before. Direct analogy with the integrated supply tacker pr. 23130 Akademik Pashin. The same with tugs for the Navy. In fact, this was done because of the understanding of the gap in the competence of the military representatives (where does it come from if there were almost no steamers built for the fleet), as well as for the possibility of the auxiliary fleet's vessels entering foreign ports (it must meet the requirements of the IACS), therefore in the contract for the construction and specifications initially laid down compliance, including the rules of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and the contract for technical supervision of the construction by the Register inspectors. But, frankly, the qualifications of inspectors of classification societies (here DNV, RMRS, Bureau Veritas, etc.) leaves much to be desired. To know how it should be - you need to have experience in the design of construction, otherwise all these volumes of the rules are "dead reading", it becomes "alive" when you use it and are interested, that is. in design and construction, and inspectors often lack this experience.
In general, there is not a single steamer of serious displacement without errors. There are simply "errors" and there are "Errors".

Fontastishen! Ships fuel л fuel, not т? 9,3 million liters of fuel = 9,3 thousand tons of fuel, more modest. 9300 tons of fuel / 400 tons of supply cargo +2 helicopters with a hangar. So this is a tanker with an enema chamber. An interesting decision by the Norwegians, combining a tanker with a hospital at 27 thousand tons. Brad about stability in ocean operations. Clinic. After all, for 250 lyam they could build faster, but 2 ships in less.

Well, now you can safely go to sea on a submarine and go fishing

"In her words, this promises problems for the combat potential of the fleet against the background of the loss of the frigate Helge Ingstad, which will go for scrap after a collision with a tanker."
We need a supply vessel, after a collision with which the destroyer will survive
And by the way, who is in the know, 9.3 mln l of fuel is about 7 440 tons of fuel (if we take a density of 0,8). It's a lot? Something does not inspire)
