The shipyard continues a 180-year naval shipbuilding tradition with the roots lying in the activities of the former traditional shipyard Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW). Ships of all frigate classes currently used by the German Navy were built at this shipyard. The existing high-quality infrastructure provides a competitive advantage, as for example, GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL boasts of the largest dry dock in the Baltic Sea region (426 meters in length) as well as a powerful portal crane with a lifting capacity of up to 900 tons. GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL is the last remaining German general contractor in the European tender for the new multi-purpose combat vessel (MKS180) for the German navy. GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL is an internationally acknowledged yard for naval shipbuilding, having recently delivered two frigates to the Algerian Navy both, on time and budget. Currently, the shipyard is constructing four corvettes for another foreign navy. The company is also proud of being part of the consortium building the second lot of the K130-type corvettes for the Germany navy. GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL is part of the European shipyards alliance of PRIVINVEST – a leading supplier of naval solutions. The group includes world-renowned industry specialists like the French naval shipyard CMN and Isherwoods in Great Britain. The competencies of these sister companies complement the German naval shipyard in an ideal manner as system integrator of large and highly-integrated naval vessels. www.germannaval.com NAVAL FORCES IN COOPERATION WITH INTER NA TION AL FORUM FOR MAR I TIME POWER MS&D 2018 International Conference on Maritime Security and Defence - PREPARING FOR FUTURE CHALLENGES - Conference Programme (Room Chicago) 6 September 08:30 – 09:00 Registration OPENING 09:00 - 09:15 Welcome addresses Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO Hamburg Messe und Congress Jan Wiedemann, NAVAL FORCES, Chairman MS&D 2018 09:15 - 10:00 Keynote Speech Developments in the worldwide maritime security situation Rear Admiral (UH) Thorsten Kähler, Chief of Staff German Navy Headquarters Panel I – MARITIME SECURITY 10:00 - 10:30 Maritime security and balance of powers in East Asia Dr Sarah Kirchberger, Head of the Center for Asia-Pacific Strategy and Security, Institute for Security Policy, Kiel University (ISPK) 10:30 - 11:00 Coffee 11:00 - 11:30 China’s strife for economic and military power Dr Sarah Kirchberger 11:30 - 12:00 A Southern African perspective on maritime security Rear Admiral (UH) (Ret) South African Navy Hanno Teuteberg 12:00 - 12:15 Q&A 12:15 - 13:15 Lunch 13:15 - 13:45 The effects of global warming on maritime security Prof Dr Christian Webersik, Deputy Director, Centre for Integrated Emergency Management (CIEM), Department of Global Development and Planning, University of Agder, Norway 13:45 - 14:15 The impact of ice melting on the maritime security in the Arctic Dr Patricia Schneider, Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy, University of Hamburg (IFSH) 14:15 - 14:30 Q&A 14:30 - 15:00 Coffee Panel II – MARITIME DEFENCE 15:00 - 15:30 Flexible Interoperable Toolbox for Future Operational Requirements in Confined and Shallow Waters (FIT FOR CSW) - Modularity, Mission Modules and the way ahead Commander (S.G.)

MS&D was inaugurated by Hamburg Messe und Congress in cooperation with NAVAL FORCES magazine in September 2008 and has since developed into a world-class conference attracting high-ranking delegations from navies, coast guards, naval indus- try, UN, NATO, EU, international maritime organizations and other important members of the international naval community. MS&D is a unique event, which differs considerably from other maritime conferences, normally focusing on only a single subject. Under the topics SECURITY and DEFENCE, MS&D conferences attempt to cover the whole spectrum of modern threats, which may have to be dealt with by naval forces and naval industry, including peace keeping, evacuation and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations. The security political situation around the world is changing con- stantly. Threats that were believed to be matters of the past are suddenly back. New threats are emerging almost every day. Na- vies have to adapt their missions, tasks and tactics accordingly. Naval industry has to provide platforms and equipment required for a steadily increasing range of missions. Are navies and naval industry prepared for future challenges? Our renowned international speakers will introduce their evaluation of the maritime security situation on the Seven Seas, Exclusive Eco- nomic Zones, territorial waters and harbours, the impact of global warming on maritime security, current developments in digital se- curity as well as new trends in naval technology. Under the mot- to of this year’s MS&D, PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE, they will suggest ways of countering possible threats or hostile acts effec- tively and efficiently. I hope that MS&D 2018 will meet your expectations and provide answers to some of the questions you may have. Please feel free Jan Wiedemann to visit the SMM maritime trade fair of which MS&D is a part. I wish Co-publisher NAVAL FORCES you a successful conference.
