I don't know how you got your info sir
But Muslims have been the target of the group from its early days, especially those who were publicly against them, served with Govts, Islamic scholars and co from Kano-Maiduguri

POSTED 05 DECEMBER 2017



In the present maritime environment, and with the ratifying of various maritime conventions and regulations, training is essential to ensure that industry has personnel that is suitably and adequately trained to meet all the safety and regulatory requirements.

Nautic Africa provides a variety of specialised maritime courses. This past month, Nautic Marine Service Manager Fabio Torrente & Service Training Officer Neil de Villiers undertook two days of product familiarisation training, as well as handover and acceptance testing of the four new 9.5m Guardian Fast Patrol Boats to the Nigerian Special Boat Service in a Navy Base on Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

The first four vessels delivered are ideally suited to military training of Special Forces, shore to shore operations, rescue and patrol operations, and are part of a consignment of a total of 14 boats to be supplied. The subsequent 10 vessels which are being delivered progressively, are all 8.5m Ballistically Protected Guardian Fast Patrol boats which are ideally suited to either ship to shore, or shore to shore fast patrol and security intervention duties, for both the Nigerian Navy, and the Navy’s Special Boat Services, thereby substantially increasing the capacity and the capability of the Nigerian’s security services in combatting the ever increasing acts of piracy and intimidation in the Gulf of Guinea, and in the Niger Delta.

18 Nigerian Navy SBS, Maintenance and Technical Personnel attended the very successful familiarisation training and vessel acceptance testing event. Nautic offer training and facilitation in the following fields: Diving, Crane Operations, Skipper Training, Welding, Vessel Handling, Vessel familiarisation, Remote Operated vehicles, safety Procedures and On-board Maintenance, and certified STCW Courses

May we see more SA/Naija co-operation. And Paramount still has to deliver to the NN 10 more of these:

Xbee007:
Nigeria Navy should imbibe culture of proper storage of not-in-use patrol boats. One of the recently purchased French-built OCEA FPB 72 patrol boats, has been gathering dust in Lagos dock since God knows when. Everyday I pass through the area, not far from CBD Lagos, it always looks dustier than it was the week before. Maybe, this coming rain will do the washing for them.
BTW, aren't they supposed to have some proper storage place such as we have hangars for aircraft

nemesis4u:
Lot of tarpaulin will take care of Ur concerns sir

Xbee007:
Lol, looks like someone needs to remind them that if you spend thousands of dollars of taxpayer's money to purchase a security apparatus, you should be able to to spare couple of dollars to properly store it.
But, my utmost concern is why the boat is sitting duck doing nothing when criminal activities in the Gulf of Guinea hasn't diminish? Guess some things are beyond us.

Kalapizim:
Don't get me wrong oh, yes Muslims are also targeted but the main genesis of this conflict has roots from previously condoned religious conflicts which several government administrations failed to prevent. It sad to see irresponsibility of the past snowballing into what we have now.

Frumentum:
No particular insight into the details, but NN bought 4. Don't know how many have been delivered so far, but based on SA ops doctrine: 1 on ops; 1 used for training; 1 on maintenance; 1 on reserve.
Again, don't know NN doctrine, but based on that logical cycle, there's always going to be at least 1 Ocea vessel on dry dock.

jakeporeshenko:
actually the grand plan is to have 11 boats from Ocea in total

read. http://www.ocea-ssm.com/september-2017-ocea-delivers-shiroro-p185-and-ose-p186-ocea-fpb-72-mkii-nigerian-navy-0

Frumentum:
Right. Didn't know the final number. My argument though, stands. simply seeing 1/2 at the docks doesn't mean the NN isn't properly utilising them. and now that you tell me the fleet will be 11, there'll always be 4 on dry dock at all times.

BTW, jake, why's nigeria not forcing the french to build these domestically?

jakeporeshenko:
can we really "force" the French to do anything ? they have been f*cking us sideways since independence and the civil war.
but on a serious note, i think Algerian once explained that these boats are aluminium weld and they have a special or rather delicate process of manufacturing. anddd most of these orders are follow-up orders (the boats are being purchased in pairs) NN couldn't demand that Ocea set up shop in Nigeria after purchasing 2-3 boats from the start.

Frumentum:
Of course you can. French shipyards aren't exactly inundated with naval orders at the moment. 2 in France and the skills transfer to Nigeria would seem to me to be the most obvious thing, aluminium weld notwithstanding.

jakeporeshenko:
wait do you mean set up a new shipyard or using an existing facility?

abiodunalasa:
Dear God, how many more brave sons are we gonna spend in this war rooted in madness ?

I curse the day Man came about the notion of religion.

Im not sure you understand what intl terrorism means, stop listening to politicians, do a little research.

CaptainStephen:
He has a point actually. Majority of the core BHT started from their participation in some of these religious violence. The house rat simply invited the bush rat inside.

like I advised him, research about intl terrorism, what you for example what we call boko haram is actually an assortment of ISWA, AQIM & FLM just to give you a clue, you may be at the fore front,however, you may not have an idea how big what you are dealing with.

iblawi:
You've being posting several dumb post bro. Try not to post/comment about anything beyond your knowledge. You earlier claimed intelligence agencies don't know their work and now boko haram is about religion.

Many of you have never being to the North East and you can't understand how difficult it is to protect some of this villages with less than 100 people. The next village might be over 10km away without motorable road. Most of them are farmers with bicycles and motorcycles and some settle in the middle of their farms.

Everything about the north east is completely different from the south west or south South you know.
