 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 15

 Answers can only be provided by DAFF 16

 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 19
