Thailand scuttles German submarine purchase
Bangkok (dpa) - Thailand‘s navy on Tuesday acknowledged that it had dropped plans to purchase four second-hand German submarines for an estimated 7.6 billion baht (250,000 dollars), media reports said.
"The deadline for the purchase has passed (on February 29) ... and the navy will not seek to keep the buying option," Navy Chief Admiral Surasak Runroengrom told The Nation newspaper.
Defence Minister Sukumpol Suwanatat had reportedly nixed the deal after several reviews of the navy‘s submarine purchase plan.
Under the previous administration, headed by Abhisit Vejjajiva, the government had agreed to the navy‘s plan to buy the second-hand Type 206A diesel electric submarines from the German Navy.

ST Marine Delivers 141m Landing Platform Dock to Royal Thai Navy
Singapore, 3 April 2012 – ST Marine today held a ceremony for preliminary acceptance and delivery of the 141m Landing Platform Dock (LPD), which it designed and built for Royal Thai Navy at its Benoi yard. The ceremony held in the morning was graced by Admiral Surasak Rounroengrom, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Navy, and His Excellency Mr Marut Jitpatima, Ambassador of Thailand to Singapore.
The design of the LPD is proprietary to ST Marine and is based on its Endurance Class of LPDs. The design is proven by the four 141m Landing Ship Tanks (LSTs) that ST Marine built for theRepublicofSingapore Navy. The LSTs have been deployed successfully on many occasions to provide peacekeeping duties in the Gulf, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts during the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and more recently as part of the international anti-piracy Combined Task Force in the Gulf of Aden.
With a displacement of about 7600 tonnes, the LPD has a well-dock with a stern as well as a side ramp designed for expedient embarkation and disembarkation of equipment and personnel. This versatile vessel is capable of supporting myriad missions, ranging from sea transportation, naval support operations, civil search and rescue to disaster relief missions. To support these missions, its heli-deck can land up to two medium-sized helicopters of about 10-tonnes each.
ST Marine secured this contract worth some S$200m, to design and build this LPD as well as two units of 23m Landing Craft Mechanised and two units of 13m Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel. Work for the LPD commenced in mid 2009 and the vessel was launched in March last year. After going through the mandatory and comprehensive acceptance sea trials, the LPD is now ready to sail to its base in Thailand for the final acceptance trials. Final delivery of the LPD is expected to be by 2Q2012.
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to ST Marine for their efficient supervision and construction of the ship as well as their kind support to the Royal Thai Navy personnel throughout the period when they were working here at the yard.” ~ Admiral Surasak Rounroengrom, Commander-in-Chief, Royal Thai Navy
“ST Marine has always pride itself on our design capability as well as being able to deliver quality ships and excellent services to our customers. Through this LPD programme, we hope to be able to continue to build on our precious relationships with the Kingdom of Thailand and Royal Thai Navy in the years to come. We are very proud that we have once again delivered on our promise.” ~ NG Sing Chan, President, ST Marine

La marine thaïlandaise s’intéresse à la formation de ses sous-mariniers
Des officiers de marine thaïlandais pourraient être envoyés en Chine, pour y recevoir une formation aux sous-marins, indique une source du ministère de la défense.
Le ministre de la défense, ACM Sukumpol Suwanatat, a proposé que des officiers de marine reçoivent en Chine une formation de base sur les sous-marins.
ACM Sukumpol et des responsables des forces armées ont visité pendant le week-end l’école sous-marine de Qingdao. Ils estiment que proposer une formation aux officiers de marine serait une bonne idée.
Ils ont visité des sous-marins Type 039, classe Song.
Les officiers envoyés en Chine, devront d’abord apprendre le Chinois.
La source a indiqué que la formation ne devrait pas être interprété comme un signe d’intérêt pour l’achat de sous-marins chinois.
Le ministère de la défense a récemment abandonné un projet d’acheter 6 sous-marins d’occasion allemands. Ce projet n’a pas obtenu l’approbation du gouvernement avant l’échéance du 29 février fixée par Berlin.
ACM Sukumpol a indiqué que les sous-marins de la classe Song qu’il avait visité avait un intérieur plutôt plein à craquer, mais qu’il est moderne sur le plan technologique.
Il a ajouté que le ministère souhaitait toujours acheter des sous-marins, et qu’il réunit actuellement des informations sur les éventuels candidats.
La marine va étudier les sous-marins en service en Europe, Corée du Sud et à Singapour.
ACM Sukumpol a souligné que le ministère n’avait pas décidé si les sous-marins achetés seraient neufs ou d’occasion.
Le chef de la marine, Surasak Roonroengrom, a indiqué que la marine ne pouvait pas acheter des sous-marins neufs, parce qu’ils sont trop chers.
« J’ai peur que les chances que la marine reçoive des sous-marins, n’aient diminué, » a-t-il indiqué, faisant référence à l’échec de l’accord avec l’Allemagne.

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has exchanged three G222 transport aircraft with a Saab 340B aircraft from Sweden as the G222 planes, which already had been grounded, had no spare parts.
The Saab 340B aircraft has arrived in Surat Thani and was handed over by Saab on May 2, a source at the RTAF said.
The air force earlier purchased 12 Gripen fighter jets, a Saab 340 AEW airborne early warning aircraft and a Saab 340 aircraft from the Swedish manufacturer.
The air force had six G222 planes and all had been grounded due to a lack of spare parts.
Air Marshal Chumphon Chanthavani travelled to the USA to sign a contract to exchange the aircraft on Feb 23.
Saab handed over its aircraft to the air force at Wing 7 in Surat Thani on May 2.
Meanwhile, air force spokesman Monthon Satchukorn said an investigative team looking into an accident involving a Thai air force plane in Bangladesh has returned to Thailand and is assessing damages caused to the plane.
The ATR-72-500 aircraft lost control and skidded off a runway at a Bangladeshi airport on April 30.
Three passengers suffered minor injuries.
