REVIEW OF PORTS FOR USE BY MERIDIA TASK FORCE


REVIEW OF PORTS FOR USE BY MERIDIA TASK FORCE

ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER


Defence Ministry
 
Defence Ministry, August 27, 5701:   ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER asked newly installed Defence Minister Gerda Kempf what she was going to do first, and she responded:
 

Well a question came up this morning on the status of the port access of the Meridia Task Force.  The ships in this task force were given to the Bundesrepublik by the Lourennais during the period when the Humanitarian Alliance was our principal international alliance.
 
The Lourennais port of Meridia was its home port where it could be maintained, refueled and repaired.  At the time we pretty much considered it part of the Lourennais Navy operationally, and it fought in that arrangement against Seko when it attacked Lourenne.
 
Port facilities in Keymon and the Western side of the Saridan canal were clearly available to it when operating in conjunction with the Lourennais, and we have exercised independent use of the port in Keymon but never in Saridan.
 
We built Ikradun Island in conjunction with Ikradon for mutual use with a lot of investment by Dundorfische Hoch Logistik (DHL) Maritime, a subsidiary of our primary air freight conglomerate, DHL.  DHL Maritime operates its merchant fleet out of Ikradun Island and Zitdelle in the Kingdom of Dorvik.  The Ikradun Island port facilities are available for refueling, repair and maintenance of the Meridia Task Force.
 
With the Kingdom of Lourenne becoming more isolated, the Bundesrepublik made arrangements with Royaume Uni de Kanjor for access to the port of Torges.  For a while we stationed the Meridia task Force there but not since Union Canrille lost power there.
 
So we have use of Ikradun Island and have access for the time being to Meridia and port facilities in Keymon.  We will be getting in touch with in touch with the government of Royaume Uni de Kanjor to see where the Torges arrangements now stand.
