  • IONS PREPARATORY WORKSHOP HOSTED by the KENYA NAVY at MOMBASA from 01 – 02 OCTOBER 2009 PURPOSE the Preparatory Workshop Wa
    IONS PREPARATORY WORKSHOP HOSTED BY THE KENYA NAVY AT MOMBASA FROM 01 – 02 OCTOBER 2009 PURPOSE The preparatory workshop was aimed at providing a forum where member navies would be able to deliberate and discuss common interest issues in the spirit of promoting new avenues of enhancing friendship and professional cooperation in the IOR at the end of which it was expected that a finalized list of Agenda items and theme for the IONS Summit – 2010 would be agreed upon. The workshop evidenced participation by nominees from 15 member navies each of who made invaluable contributions and recommendations making this activity a truly all inclusive process. SESSION 1 – OPENING CEREMONY The Commander of the Kenya Navy, Major General S J Mwathethe outlined that the primary aim of IONS was to create Allied Naval Partnerships, establish a high degree of inter-operability, share information and to explore ways to overcome trans-national maritime threat, natural disasters and maintain good order at sea. In his key note address, the Chief Guest, Lt Gen J W Karangi VCGS, Kenya Armed Forces, applauded the conceivers of the IONS initiative and the member navies for efforts towards mitigating maritime insecurity in the IOR. He also noted that Indian Ocean Sea Lanes of Communication are heavily relied upon by world economies for trade, and the current threats of piracy and armed robbery at sea dictate an increased naval cooperation and interaction which can only be attained through coordinated efforts like sharing of information, experiences and ideas. SESSION 2/3 – PRESENTATIONS The workshop adopted its schedule as a basis for their discussion with a view to giving recommendations for the IONS meeting to be held in UAE in March 2010.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1
    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

  • Maritime Security Issues on the East Coast of Africa

MARITIME SECURITY ISSUES ON THE EAST COAST OF AFRICA SAS DRAKENSBERG MOMBASA HARBOUR 26 NOVEMBER 2007 CONFERENCE REPORT Introduction A South African Navy Ship, the SAS Drakensberg, visited Kenya during late November and was in Mombasa harbour on the 26th of November 2007. The SA Navy kindly consented that the ISS may host a one-day conference on board the SAS Drakensberg on this day and the Hanns Seidel Foundation agreed to fund the event. Rationale for the Conference This opportunity, to arrange a conference on board a SA Navy ship in Mombasa, presented a forum to further the mission of the ISS ‘to enhance human security in Africa’ as well as that of the Hanns Seidel Foundation ‘in the service of democracy, peace and development’. Africa has many maritime interests, including trade and the use of its marine resources to support development on the continent. Unfortunately, these resources are illegally plundered by others (illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is an example) and free trade is hampered by phenomena such as piracy and organised crime. This is to the disadvantage of the people of the African continent. At the same time, little is being done in Africa to protect these interests and resources. The Common African Defence and Security Policy (CADSP), in addressing threats to peace, security and development pays little attention to the maritime dimensions thereof. The African Standby Force, as an instrument for the implementation of the CADSP, also does not address maritime forces or their contribution to African security and development.

    United Nations S/2020/1072 Security Council Distr.: General 2 November 2020 Original: English The situation with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 29 of Security Council resolution 2500 (2019), in which the Council requested me to report within 11 months on the implementation of the resolution and on the situation with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia. 2. The report covers the period from 1 November 2019 to 31 October 2020 and highlights major developments since my previous report (S/2019/867). It is based on information provided by the United Nations system, including the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as well as Member States and regional organizations, including the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the European Union Capacity-Building Mission in Somalia, the European Union Naval Force (EU NAVFOR), the Indian Ocean Commission and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). II. Main developments, trends and considerations regarding piracy off the coast of Somalia 3. Efforts of the international community to combat piracy were impacted by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. International coordination meetings, such as the annual plenary session of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, were postponed. The global demand for goods significantly decreased, which further reduced the volumes of cargoes shipped across the western Indian Ocean.

  • NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016
    NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016 An essential Alliance in a more dangerous world The Warsaw Summit comes at a defining moment for the security of the North Atlantic Alliance. In recent years, the world has become more volatile and dangerous with Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and destabilisation of eastern Ukraine, as well as its military build-up from the Barents Sea to the Baltic, and from the Black Sea to the eastern Mediterranean; turmoil across the Middle East and North Africa, fuelling the biggest migrant and refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two; brutal attacks by ISIL and other terrorist groups, as well as cyber attacks, nuclear proliferation and ballistic missile threats. NATO is adapting to this changed security environment. It also remains committed to fulfilling its three core tasks: collective defence, crisis management and cooperative security. And, in the Polish capital, the Alliance will make important decisions to boost security in and around Europe, based on two key pillars: protecting its citizens through modern deterrence and defence, and projecting stability beyond its borders. NATO member states form a unique community of values, committed to the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. In today’s dangerous world, transatlantic cooperation is needed more than ever. NATO embodies that cooperation, bringing to bear the strength and unity of North America and Europe. This Summit is the first to be hosted in Poland and the first to be chaired by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who took up his post in October 2014.
