Today, 11th February, the Baltic Defence College hosted a Baltic Sea Maritime Security Roundtable. As part of a renewed focus on collective defence and deterrence, NATO is re-engaging with the maritime domain and navies are seeing greater levels of interest and investment. The states that surround the Baltic Sea have also begun to respond to new and rediscovered challenges to their maritime security, and explore credible options for the Baltic states to ensure defence and deterrence of their maritime approaches. Panelists included VADM (ret) Heinrich Lange, former Vice Chief of the German Navy, VADM (ret) Ryszard Demczuk PhD, former Chief of Navy Staff Polish Navy and CAPT Jüri Saska, Commander of the Estonian Navy. The event was moderated by CAPT (ret) William “Bill” Combes of the Baltic Defence College. |
