It has been 25 years since he drew his first cartoon for Schip en Werf, SWZ Maritime's predecessor. That is why SWZ Maritime's September issue features a selection of Hans de Wilde's drawings. Still, there is more to be read.

In addition to 25 years of cartoons, there is a report on Sail Amsterdam and a historic article on Anthony Fokker's yacht Q.E.D.

Walrus Class Life Extension

The Dutch Walrus Class submarines are currently undergoing a Life Extension Programme (LEP). SWZ Maritime's September issue gives you all the details of this extensive modernisation. And there is more to come; the second part of this article will be published in SWZ Maritime's October issue.

Other Articles

In an interview, Mieke Bakker, Maritime Sector Manager of MVO Nederland, tells how important sustainability is for the maritime industry and Bob van de Graaf advocates the continuance of free research, research that explores new frontiers without knowing if the findings will benefit practice.

SWZ Maritime editor Sander Klos interviewed Joost Bierens on the new book "Drowning" which covers all aspects of drowning, from causes to facts to consequences. Finally, there is an article on the current status of offshore wind, particularly in Europe, but also beyond.
