Red wants to be stricter against the oligarchs. "We think it is too passive to wait for the EU. In the political field in Norway, representatives from the Liberals are clear that they want a ban against Russian vessels in Norwegian ports. The Red Party emphasizes that Norway must have its own punitive measures aimed at those responsible for the war, namely Putin and his circle of oligarchs, but that separate assessments must be made around the Russian fishing fleet: Just like the EU does, Norway also considers sanctions that will prevent Russian vessels from docking at Norwegian ports. They neither cooperate with Russia about fisheries in the Barents Sea nor have the fisheries protection zone around Svalbard to consider”, he says.
We are moving into an area in which we should really think twice and not just blindly follow the EU’s sanctions. “We need to talk about what resource management - and security policy challenges this may have in the longer run.
Listing image by A.The political debate should be more clear about the consequences of a potential ban against Russian vessels in Norwegian ports, argues Senior Researcher Andreas Østhagen at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI). The stern stayed afloat, and 199 other sailors were rescued. The last major incident in which a US Navy ship sank as the result of a collision was in 1969, when the destroyer USS Frank E Evans was run over by the Australian carrier HMAS Melbourne the ship was cut in half, and its bow sank with 74 sailors. "There have been collisions," he said, "but I do not remember a case like this, of a vessel, a warship sinking after it." Admiral Viktor Kravchenko, a former Black Sea Fleet commander, called the sinking "out of the ordinary" in an interview with Interfax. While collisions at sea are a perpetual threat, it's exceedingly rare for a naval vessel to sink after a collision. More recently, the ship has seen service off Syria. In 1999, the Liman was sent at the request of Serbian President Slobodan Milošević to monitor NATO's airstrike operations during the war in Kosovo.
The Liman was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet in 1979, and, after its conversion to a signals intelligence ship, it regularly conducted long cruises in the Mediterranean, shadowing US and NATO forces and performing coastal signals collection patrols. Advertisementīuilt in Gdansk, Poland, the Liman initially served with the Soviet Northern Fleet, conducting underwater survey operations and making port calls as far afield as India, Cuba, Canada, and the United States. While slow, they would often position themselves in groups around US aircraft carrier operations in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Pacific. Occasionally they would even break in on unencrypted ship-to-ship frequencies, using NATO signals to attempt to collect more information about ship formations or even disrupt their operations. The conversion added passive underwater acoustic sensors along with electronic warfare equipment for collecting radio and radar signals.ĭuring the Soviet era, AGIs-many of them converted fishing trawlers-would frequently shadow US and other NATO member naval forces to intercept their signals, including sonar and radar signatures. Originally built as a hydrographic survey ship in 1970, it was converted in 1989 into a signals-intelligence collection ship, a class of vessels known in US naval parlance as AGIs (auxiliary, general intelligence).
