Type 218SG Impeccable due to arrive in time for Singapore’s National Day 2023

National Day this year will be even more special as the Republic of Singapore Navy’s newest class of submarine is expected to arrive here on 1 August. 

Ship tracking websites show that Rolldock Storm, a civilian vessel designed to carry outsized cargo, is now in the Atlantic Ocean bound for Singapore. Rolldock Storm has in her cargo deck the Type 218SG submarine, Impeccable, which was built in a German shipyard ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. 

Updated 6 Jun 0815H: Rolldock Storm appeared bound for the long way round Africa. As at 0800H 6 June 2023, ship tracking websites showed the vessel had passed the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. Will continue to monitor. 

[Deleted 6 Jun: Rolldock Storm is expected to enter the Mediterranean, after which she will transit the Suez Canal and continue her journey to Singapore.]
