giles14: frumentius: paramount has some good options but personally I feel NN will go for those Damen patrol boats, a private company in Nigeria already operates several and they take part in joint exercises with NN. 1 Like |

jakeporeshenko: So does Paramount (have products in Nigeria, I mean). And a base in Port Harcourt and another office up the coast in Ghana.

frumentius:Paramount has a base in Port Harcourt?? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:12pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
jakeporeshenko:Yep. Nautic Africa, which built the Nigerian Guardians I posted, established the base for vessel life-cycle support and servicing. When Paramount acquired Nautic, there was even talk of expansion so that the remaining 4 of the 7 Guardians could be fitted there. |

frumentius: I am afraid you might have confused me or yourself, the Guardians 1, 2 and 3 were designed and constructed by Damen http://www.damen.com/en/news/2017/03/additional_fcs_3307_patrol_vessel_ordered_by_homeland

Army of Gabon again. To my knowledge the Gabonese do not currently operate any tanks, much like Cameroon all their armour is wheeled. Pics below depict a WZ-523, EE-9 Cascavel, and some kind of Paramount MRAP (I'm guessing a Matador). 3 Likes

jakeporeshenko:And now I pile on the confusion: Cape Town-based shipbuilding and maritime solutions company Nautic Africa will be building seven of its new 35-metre Fast Multi Role Patrol Vessels for West African clients, at a total value in excess of R600 million. The vessels will be the first in their class to be designed and built in South Africa.

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:37pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
Jake, I found the source of the confusion: sometime after Paramount acquired Nautic, Paramount changed the name of the vessels from Guardians to Sentinels. I imagine to avoid precisely this confusion. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:40pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
frumentius:so Nautic Africa is Paramount, but you can agree with me that Damen built 3 of 4 guardian patrol vessels for HIOSL, "Damen’s Local Service Hub in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, will ensure that maintenance, repairs and any additional support is handled by Damen engineers." so Damen also has its own base in Port Harcourt. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:46pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
jakeporeshenko: Yes. Incidentally, yet more reason I suspect it's Paramount who'll supply the 14 NN vessels. Damen SA had no involvement with Homeland's Guardians; they come out of Singapore. And seeing the boats are to be acquired in SA, I imagine the NN would go to a SA company with direct experience in Nigeria. |

jakeporeshenko: It's a good thing that the boats would be mostly built in Nigeria. I was about going ballistic until I got to that part. Nice to see that the SAAF brought out jets for him, this should give the SAAF a much needed flying time. In all, I'm Okay with the visit, but the SA navy chief though, talking about budget first, instead of a shared maritime goal to see security in African waters....... SMH! |

jakeporeshenko: I think you misunderstood. We cleared up that Homeland acquired Guardians built by Damen Singapore. As to the video you shared, I still suspect that the NN vessels from SA will be built by Paramount on account of the fact that of the SA companies, they have more direct experience with Nigeria (supplying 7 Sentinels). That gives them an edge over Damen SA. 1 Like |

Henry240: You really are quite pathetic. No jets were brought out for him; that was file footage. And the SA naval chief was asked what similar challenges did they discuss facing the SA & Nigerian navies. Our naval operational environments are dissimilar and the most common challenge remains fulfilling objectives with ever-diminishing budgets. Oh well, dogs bark while the caravan moves on. 2 Likes |

[quote author=tdayof post=54915677][/quote] Disagreements imply differing interpretations of commonly recognised facts. And yes, one can walk away from those. Not, however, falsehoods. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 9:50pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
jakeporeshenko: I think we are looking at 27 - 35 meters IPVs. Vessels that can patrol out to sea and in-lands also. |

NAF TO EVOLVE NEW POLICY ON DOCUMENT SECURITY The need to evolve a well articulated policy to safe guard classified documents has been brought to fore. Participants at the just concluded workshop on document security organised for unit commanders and administrative personnel of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) agreed that effective document security policy for the NAF would enhance professionalism and prevent leakages of classified information to unauthorised persons. The NAF also needs to ensure that a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed for units while training and retraining of administrative personnel in document security should be intensified. While addressing participants at the closing ceremony, the Chief of Air Staff (CAS) Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar reiterated the need for attitudinal change by NAF personnel in the discharge of their official duties noting that right attitude to work would ensure improved productivity and efficient service delivery. 1 Like
