O aparelhamento, reaparelhamento e a manutenção de meios navais: manutenção de meios navais da Marinha da Namíbia de 2012 a 2022 (NS Elephant, NS Daures e NS Brukkaros)

Abstract

The maintenance of naval assets refers to the comprehensive set of actions and practices aimed at ensuring the operational readiness, longevity, and reliability of naval equipment and vessels. It encompasses various aspects related to the care, repair, and optimization of naval assets throughout their lifecycle. The maintenance of naval assets in the Namibian Navy (NN) is considered one of the priorities for balancing onshore facilities with offshore platforms. In cases of logistical support tasks, it is important to note that the outsourcing of materials should be considered a vital component of the system and needs to be well understood at all levels and hierarchies within the NN. This ensures that naval assets are well maintained so they can be effectively deployed and are capable of defending territorial waters and assisting civil authorities when called upon to maintain peace and political stability in Namibia, as well as to undertake regional, continental, and international commitments, joint missions, and exercises when assigned.
