Accept important role that vessel is playing Make decision to replace her within 5 years Commence project study immediately with

associated costing Allow SA Navy to conduct proper refit; extend

life by 5 years If necessary lease suitable vessel to conduct

surveys in meantime Create ownership for vessel

The SA Navy is not able to comment on the contracting of any entity within the private industry to conduct the shipping management function

The SA Navy believes that it can and should conduct the shipping management function for vessels belonging to the Government

Create permanent home and management responsibility for vessels; not just operating

17

On strategic level: extremely positive Understand that on the tactical level still

some teething problems Some of the misunderstandings resolved Action list compiled and being addressed Contact at all levels Can only work if this venture is

conducted as an equal partnership.18

Only one command and control system to be used DAFF vessels can become a specific Squadron

within the SA Navy: Vessels under configuration control Maintenance and repair integrated Naval Dockyard can become more effective and efficient Ownership Supplemented by Navy patrols Experiential learning for younger Navy members
