FGS BREMEN boarding a skiff
On the morning of Saturday 23rd of January, EU NAVFOR Warship BREMEN boarded a skiff inside IRTC.
The skiff was detected by a helicopter from the Japanese Navy, during a routine anti piracy patrol in the area, and reported its presence to the EU Warship. Due to the proximity of a convoy of merchant vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden, the skiff was intercepted and boarded. Nothing suspicious was found on board and the skiff was released. Unprecedented cooperation between international navies and different task forces in the region show how piracy is being combatted.
EU NAVFOR SOMALIA Operation ATALANTA main tasks are to escort merchant vessels carrying humanitarian aid of the ‘World Food Program’ (WFP) and to protect vulnerable ships in the Gulf of Aden in order to deter and disrupt piracy.
