Norway’s New Replenishment Oiler HNoMS Maud In First At-Sea Fuel Transfer

The Royal Norwegian Navy (Sjøforsvaret) new replenishment oiler HNoMS Maud conducted its first fuel transfer at sea.
Xavier Vavasseur  10 Feb 2021

The Norwegian Navy announced the milestone via a message on Twitter:

“HNoMS Maud today reached an important milestone when they completed their first operational transfer of fuel to another vessel in the sea The ability to support with fuel, provisions, ammunition and spare parts in the area of operations is a sought-after capacity in both Norway and NATO.”

HNoMS Maud was built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in South Korea through the Project P2513 new logistics vessel program. The ship was taken over by the Royal Norwegian Navy in November 2018 and arrived in Norway on 29 March 2019. On 21 May 2019, Maud was christened and commissioned. The ship would then be tested for a year until the warranty runs out. However in December 2019, Maud was banned from sailing after global risk-assessment firm DNV GL revealed several safety hazards, deeming the vessel too unsafe to sail. The ship is now expected to return to operational service in mid-2021 following fixes to the issues.

HNoMS Maud can load up to 200 tons of ammunition, spare parts, 30 tons of supplies, boats, vehicles, and over nine million liters of fuel. With a crew of 68, the vessel can accommodate up to 48 injured people and an additional 99 soldiers. The replenishment oiler has a length of 183 meters and a displacement of 27,500 tons.

Thanks to the a 25-ton crane, HNoMS Maud can hoist onboard over 60 containers that can be transported on deck. The 750-square-meter helicopter deck can board the NH90, of which two of them can be stored in the hangar.

Se o AOR foi sacrificado pelo simulador de helis então as LFC foram pelas medalhas e louvores dos operacionais da marinha, inclusive os almirantes? É que se está na LPM passou-me ao lado (e já agora chamo a atenção que a marinha tem para uma costa de 800 Km 9 em serviço, sendo que mesmo as Centauro entraram em serviço à 20 anos)...

Tens 9 no papel, relatos recentes (daquela notícia da lancha da GNR) dava como 4 ou 5 navios encostados por falta de manutenção.

Pronto, retiraram todo o material de fabrico espanhol e da Coreia do Norte e já está tudo seguro.

Italian Navy Takes Delivery of LSS Vulcano from Fincantieri
Today, the logistic support ship LSS “Vulcano”, ordered to Fincantieri within the renewal plan of the Italian Navy’s fleet, was delivered by the Naval Integrated shipyard in Muggiano.
by Naval News Staff | 12 Mar 2021


[centralizar][/centralizar]



- Fincantieri press release -

The multi-year program for the renewal of the Italian Navy’s fleet foresees the construction, besides the LSS, of the transport and landing unit LHD (or Landing Helicopter Dock) “Trieste” – under construction in this same shipyard with delivery in 2022 – as well as seven Multipurpose Offshore Patrol Ships (PPA), which will enter the fleet starting this year.

The fundamental characteristic common to all three classes of ships is their high level of innovation providing them with a considerable degree of efficiency and flexibility in serving different mission profiles. In particular, these are dual use vessels, meaning that they may be used for both standard military purposes and those in favor of the community (as for example for civil protection), and they also have a low environmental impact thanks to a state-of-the-art auxiliary propulsion system generating a low level of pollution emissions (electric engines).

The project of “Vulcano” underlies the FLOTLOG (“Flotte Logistique”) program, consisting in the construction of four LSS destined to the French Navy, by the temporary consortium between Chantiers de l’Atlantique and Naval Group under the Italian-French LSS Program led by OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation). The construction of the forward sections of these ships has been commissioned to Fincantieri, which last month has laid the keel of the first vessel at its shipyard in Castellammare di Stabia (Naples).

The vessel “Vulcano” is classified by RINA pursuant international conventions about prevention of pollution regarding the more traditional aspects, like the ones of the MARPOL Convention, as well as those not yet mandatory, as the Hong Kong Convention about ship recycling.


Vessel’s characteristics – LSS – Logistic Support Ship

The LSS is a vessel that provides logistics support to the fleet, endowed with hospital and healthcare capabilities thanks to the presence of a fully equipped hospital, complete with operating rooms, radiology and analysis rooms, a dentist’s office and hospital rooms that will be capable of hosting up to 17 seriously injured patients. The ship combines capacity to transport and transfer to other transport vessels used for liquids (diesel fuel, jet fuel, fresh water) and solids (emergency spare parts, food and ammunitions) and to perform at sea repairs and maintenance work for other vessels. The defense systems are related to the capacity of command and control in tactical scenarios, communications and dissuasive, non-lethal defense systems. The vessel is also capable of embarking more complex defence systems and becoming an intelligence and electronic war platform.

   - 193 meters long
   - speed of about 20 knots
   - 235 persons including crew and specialists
   - 4 replenishment station abeam and 1 astern
   - Capacity to supply drinking water to land
   - Capacity to provide electricity to land with 2500 kw of power
   - Possibility of embarking up to 8 residential and healthcare modules
   - Capacity to perform rescues at sea, through recovery and seabed operations (the ship is equipped with an 30 tons offshore stabilized crane stabilized)
   - base for rescue operations through helicopters and special vessels

Naval News comments:

As Naval News previously reported, the Chief of Italian Navy unveiled plans to fund under the DPP 2020-22 planning document the procurement of an additional Vulcano-class Logistic Support Ship.

P44, só se for para o encostar ao Bérrio.  Navios Obsoletos e Sucata já temos de sobra, deixa lá estar o Stromboli que quando dermos conta está a ser desmantelado na India.
Deixamos fugir o Endeavour, com casco duplo, e que tinha menos de 30 anos de serviço e íamos comprar um com 46 anos ??

Esta tinha sido uma muito boa aquisição !!!

Em Jun 2017, está quase a fazer um ano, eu coloquei aqui alguma info referente ao AOR NZ,  mas, pelos vistos e apesar de ser mais moderno, ter casco duplo e poder embarcar um heli lig, não servia para nós, pois, com o navio que temos, com mais dezasseis anos de serviço e casco simples, estamos melhor.
Uma Nação como a nossa que não tem dinheiro e não quer investir nas FFAA, não pode perder as poucas e boas oportunidades que por esse mundo aparecem para aquisição/substituição dos nossos meios Navais.  Apesar de serem usados, são mais recentes e possuem mais valências que os que actualmente nós possuimos.
O HMNZS Endeavour apenas tinha mais três anos que as Fragatas VdG !!!!!

New Zealand Navy’s sole tanker concludes her last deployment

https://navaltoday.com/2017/06/13/new-zealand-navys-sole-tanker-concludes-her-last-deployment/

Royal New Zealand Navy’s fleet oiler returned to her homeport of Devonport Naval Base on June 13 completing her last operational deployment.

The 30-year-old Endeavour wrapped up a four-month South-east Asia deployment and is set to be decommissioned later this year.

HMNZS Endeavour started her service in April 1988 after being built in South Korea. Endeavour is the third ship of this name to serve in the Royal New Zealand Navy and is named after James Cook’s HM Barque Endeavour on his first voyage to New Zealand.

Crewed by 50 officers and sailors, Endeavour spent her years in service refueling ships at sea, enabling other navy vessels to operate over long distances for extended periods of time.

She will be replaced by what will be the Royal New Zealand Navy’s largest ship ever.

HMNZS Aotearoa, as the vessel will be named, will have twice the displacement of HMNZS Endeavour and will carry 30 per cent more fuel.

Construction of the new 24,000-tonne vessel will start next year and is expected to be delivered in January 2020.

PS será que o Endeavour, vai ser vendido às Filipinas ou se custar menos de 20 Milhões será que ..................................
Tendo uma guarnição de apenas 50 elementos estou cá c/ um pressentimento que o sistema " D ", vai ser aplicado em força.
A Jane's de Junho que o camarada CJ fez o grande favor de aqui nos presentear, tem algumas linhas sobre a possibilidade da aquisição 2nd hand, e,com  small crew, heli deck, para datas muito interessantes, porque será ??

Replacement
The RNZN has now selected a replacement for the Endeavour. The ship was due to be decommissioned in 2013, but was retained after an 18-month refit to make the ship meet standards for double-hulled tankers.[2] In March 2015, a request for tender for a replacement vessel was released by the New Zealand Ministry of Defence.[2] The new retirement date is predicted to be April 2018.[2]


Endeavour berthed at Devonport Naval Base in 2007

Tender requirements for the replacement replenishment vessel included a propulsion system, built around two diesel engines to provide a range of 6,400 nautical miles (11,900 km; 7,400 mi) at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph), armament equivalent to two Mini Typhoon mounts and a Phalanx CIWS, facilities to operate a helicopter, and a container deck capacity of at least 12 TEU shipping containers.[2] In September 2015, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and Hyundai Heavy Industries were shortlisted for the final phase of the tender.[3]

On 18 July 2016 the Minister of Defence announced that Hyundai Heavy Industries will construct Endeavour's replacement, at a cost of NZ$493,000,000, with an estimated in service date of 2020.[4] The new vessel will have enhanced capabilities in Antarctica,[5] the ability to carry and refuel helicopters, as well as replenish with both fuel and fresh water.[6] It will feature a LEADGE bow as part of the "Enviroship" design. Rolls-Royce is supplying the propulsion that includes a Combined Diesel Electric and Diesel (CODLAD) propulsion plant based on twin Bergen main engines. These will each drive, via reduction gears, a controllable pitch propeller. Electrical power will be from four MTU generator sets.[7]

Com 46 anos de idade esta mesmo no ponto para a marinha portuguesa, tem o tamanho certo para caber no Alfeite e pode lá aterrar um AW-101.

No entanto tem vários problemas:

1- Tem um canhão de 76mm, 2 de 25mm e duas metrelhadoras, o que é um perfeito exagero segundo os padrões nacionais.

2- Tem uma tripulação de 12 oficiais e 120 sargentos/praças e é duvidoso que a marinha tenha praças suficientes para embarcar num bicho destes.

3- Tendo em conta a altura em que foi construido não obedece às convenções MARPOl em matéria dos riscos de poluição e há sempre o perigo que algum ecologista sem nada para fazer se entretenha a fazer barulho para obter os seus dez minutos de fama.

Cumprimentos,

Pronto, estava tudo a correr tão bem e tinhas que estragar tudo no último ponto. Porra pá, são 15 minutos de fama e não 10!

.Muitas vezes reabasteci com ele! Muitas saudades desse tempo em especial do apoio que deu na Operação Crocodilo na Guiné em 98! Uma Operação impossível de efetuar hoje por não termos substituto....passámos a ser uma Marinha oceânica sem capacidade de sustentação....
Triste!!!
