BALTIC MILITARY EXPO GDANSK POLAND JUNE 2014 AMBEREXPO

The 13th BALT-MILITARY-EXPO Baltic Military Fair will be held between June 24-26, 2014 at the AMBEREXPO Exhibition & Convention Centre, Gdańsk. BME is held in close partnership with Poland’s Ministry of National Defence and the Polish Navy Command & Staff.

Organised since 1998, BALT-MILITARY-EXPO has close ties to the sea and the coast. It focuses on maritime safety and security, the latest defence systems, sea and land rescue and is dedicated to the Polish Navy, to other types of armed forces and to the services subject to Poland’s Ministry of Interior.

The Polish Navy and Poland’s other armed forces are in the process of implementing the Technical Upgrade Plan of December 11, 2012 and the previously ratified 2013-2022 Polish Armed Forces Development Programme. The modernization processes in the Border Guard, Police and State Fire Service are also continued. The Polish Armed Forces and National Security Services look forward to seeing the products from weaponry, equipment and gear manufacturers and they encourage you to take part in their upgrade processes. Balt Military Expo 2014 will be an excellent opportunity to present the latest and most groundbreaking products and solutions dedicated to armed forces.

"The year 2013 has marked the 95th anniversary of the restoration of the Polish Navy and its service for the Republic of Poland. But it has also been a year of profound structural transformation, to result in the Polish Navy Command headquarters and authority being relocated from Gdynia to Warsaw on January 1, 2014. The new Warsaw-based Polish Navy Inspectorate is certainly a breakthrough in the latest history of our Armed Forces but, in essence, is a return to both the pre-World War II structure and the HQ of the then Polish Navy Directorate.

The year 2013 has also marked the implementation beginning of the ideas contained in The Polish Navy Development Concept until 2022, with a 2030 Outlook, carried out through the 2013-2022/2030 Operational Programme – Countering Threats at Sea. I am convinced that this ambitious Programme will not only give the Polish naval fleet a state-of-the-art edge and greater operational prowess but will also significantly consolidate Poland’s credibility among our allies, which is of special importance on the 15th anniversary of Poland in the NATO.

The progress of globalisation, coupled with the ever increasing importance of maritime transport and economy, requires us to apply the latest technological solutions in order to enable the Navy’s forces to be effective in performing their tasks of protecting Poland’s interests at sea and supporting allied operations.

The Operational Programme should doubtless be an inspiration for our domestic shipbuilding industry and for the manufacturers of vessel weaponry and equipment, research institutes, universities and R&D centres to look for the best solutions to be applied in fulfilling the Navy’s present and future tasks at sea.

The BALT MILITARY EXPO Baltic Military Fair is just the perfect platform to exchange experience on the subject, guaranteed by the participation of maritime arms industry’s top specialists in both the Fair and the NATCON Conference which accompanies it. This forum supports our efforts in bringing the Polish naval fleet up-to-date, while the Fair will allow the Navy’s experts to learn about the latest development trends in maritime military technology.

For the 13th Baltic Military Fair, I wish its Organisers, Exhibitors and all the Visitors productive discussions, effective meetings, many splendid impressions and discoveries and most of all, proverbially, May Your Boat Always Stay Afloat – may this important project be a success."

The Combat ZCC with 40kW wind turbines. This is a 50 ton vessel that is elongated, but retaining the same low frontal area as with the merchant Bluefish ZZC platforms above. This battleship can be armed with a potent mix of torpedoes, SAM and Cruise missiles. The total energy harvesting capacity is around 176kW (235hp), giving an Energy Harvested to Displacement ratio (EH/D) of 3.52kW/ton (4.72hp/ton). The vessel is more efficient at collecting energy during darkness, reducing the battery storage needed, hence improving the potential payload. Larger versions of this format could be the emission free cargo ships of the future. The average cruising speed of this vessel will be higher from the longer hull 50m (163ft) hull on the waterline, giving a better speed/length ratio. The OAL is 56M (183ft). The sprint speed of this craft will be in the 20+ knot region - dependent on active hull deployment.

The cost of diesel fuel to operate this ship continuously for a year is approximately: .29gals/hp x 117 x 24 x 365 = $297,226.80 (£183,393.99) In ten years that would be $2.97M (£1.83M). Fuel for thought! In this calculation we have assumed for the sake of simplicity that the 235 horsepower harvested during the day is split 50/50 for day and night operation. In reality, the wind turbines operate just as well in the dark.
