Are modular ships the answer to solving the problem of aging fleets?
With a population of just five million people, Denmark might seem like a small player on the global stage. However, as a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , the country has a crucial role to play in the military alliance.
Thanks to global warming, the Arctic ice is rapidly melting, and the region is becoming more accessible. This is expected to open more trade routes but also increase friction between nations. Last week,Denmark remains a small country and does not have the financial resources like China or the US to expand its naval fleet. Its modular approach may lead to a novel way to approach the problem.
The upcoming patrol ships would likely feature side panels where these "Cubes" can be slotted in before the vessel heads out for a mission. All the equipment necessary for a particular operation will be part of the cube and swapped out of the vessel when the mission is complete.
