Maritime training is a key component of the partnership between Op Atalanta and EUCAP Nestor staff, so the visit was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate HNLMS Tromp’s impressive capabilities to the EUCAP Nestor delegation, including first aid.
Op Atalanta’s Force Commander, Rear Admiral Luyckx said: "The meeting was very useful, with EUCAP Nestor colleagues being briefed on how Op Atalanta warships can support them in training the Somali Coast Guard, the Maritime Police Unit and other organisations.”
EUCAP Nestor works closely with Op Atalanta staff as part of the EU’s Comprehensive approach to Somalia and wider Horn of Africa, with the aiming of enhancing regional maritime capabilities to help ensure that piracy remains suppressed in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean.
