This week I've had the privilege of visiting both the M941 Tournai and the M940 Oostende (many thanks @Commandant_OST !). Those new ships are a game changer and there's still much to be learned in order to fully master them. Have a nice weekend and enjoy the view!🚢
🧑🎓👩🎓The summer break is over and it's time for the crewmembers to get #backtoschool This week's course was all about seawater pumps. 👨🏫#didyouknow that many systems on board are cooled with seawater?
🇧🇪⚓ At DSEI 2025 we focus on drones, comms & counter-drone systems to make our Navy stronger and more resilient. 🚢Patrol vessel Pollux as networking platform to support Belgian industry 🤝by building synergies with trusted partners for a future-proof fleet. 🌊 @COM_BelgianNavy
🌅There's nothing like a sunny day to work on the outer decks!
De bescherming van onze vitale infrastructuur op de Noordzee en in havens als de Eemshaven is een gezamenlijke inspanning. Tijdens #SandyCoast25 trainen we dit intensief, samen met onze partners uit België 🇧🇪, Estland 🇪🇪 en Groningen Seaports.
#didyouknow 🧐Absque Labore Nihil (Nothing without work) that you see on the ship's badge is the same motto as the former @TheBelgianNavy minesweeper M481 Tournai. The mine stands for the Group Naval Mine Warfare and the Tower stands for the city of Tournai, our patron city.
🇧🇪⚓🇳🇱 M921 LOBELIA en het Very Shallow Water Team van @TheBelgianNavy namen deel aan #SandyCoast2025, georganiseerd door de @kon_marine. Indrukwekkende interdepartementale demo en sterke ABNL-samenwerking voor de beveiliging van vitale infrastructuur. 💪🌊 @CDT_BNS_Lobelia
✅Our sistership and first of class #M940Oostende of @Commandant_OST has been performing some key Sea Acceptance Trials : they successfully tested the Launch And Recovery System (LARS) for the Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) 💪- have a look at it: youtu.be/ZntJZyupJT8?si…
High pressure, low pressure, IFF, ballast water treatment, diesel oil purifier, handling lifting equipment... You name it, the crew of #M941Tournai is getting to know it!🧑💻👩🔧 Final stretch before the summer break 🌅
🇧🇪 Great job everyone! You were impeccable during this #BelgianNationalDay2025 ! BZ 🫡 @TheBelgianNavy
#sisterships M940 Oostende and M941 Tournai resting in Concarneau. Have a nice weekend!
💪👏 Looking forward to having @dovo_sedee in a near future on board the #M941Tournai for some mine countermeasures operations at sea.

Waarom onze militairen hun gezicht verbergen tijdens de 21 juli-parade. Tijdens de nationale feestdag van 21 juli tonen we met trots het engagement en de paraatheid van onze krijgsmacht. Maar wie goed kijkt, zal merken dat een deel van onze eenheden een ‘buff’ draagt – een…
⚓️Did you know that the first crew of a newly commissioned ship is also referred to as "plank owner" or "plank holder"? In the past, the crew was around when the ship was being built and therefore has bragging rights to the "ownership" of one of the planks in the main deck.
On 8 July 2025, BNS LOUISE-MARIE's crew received the NATO "Vigilance" medal and the Belgian deployment medal for their SNMG1 mission. After intense months at sea, most of us now prepare for future ops. Dedication never rests ! #weareNATO #BelgianNavy
