Counter piracy warship escort World Food vessel to Somalia Port |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
OFF SOMALIA --
The Italian warship ITS Euro has recently
escorted World Food Programme (WFP) chartered vessel
MV Apollonas in the Gulf of Aden. When chartered by
the WFP, the vessel transports food-aid around the
region. ITS Euro was on-hand to ensure she was
able to transit the area safely without fear of pirate
attack. At the beginning of the escort, ITS Euro’s
AB-212 helicopter transferred a team to MV Apollonas
in order to explain to her Captain the escort procedures
to ensure both ships were kept safe. Thanks to these
escorts the EU Naval Force has enabled the WFP to safely
deliver humanitarian aid to areas of Somalia hardest hit
by food shortages. As well as providing escort to
vulnerable vessels, Operation Atalanta ships
patrol the seas off Somalia to ensure pirates are unable
to operate and seafarers are able to use the waters
safely.

OFF SOMALIA --
During one of her counter-piracy patrols off the coast
of Somalia, sailors from Operation Atalanta
Italian warship, ITS Euro, recently met the crew
of a dhow that was transporting livestock from Somalia
to the Middle East. After warm greetings were exchanged,
the dhow’s captain invited some of the Italian sailors
on board to meet his crew and to thank them for helping
to keep the Somali waters safe from pirates. The Italian
team took some supplies with them to give to the crew,
such as food and water. Operation Atalanta
warships routinely patrol the waters of the Gulf of Aden
and Indian Ocean to ensure that there is nowhere for
pirates to hide and that the attacks that plagued
seafarers off the Somali coast just a few years ago do
not start up again. As the Somali coast is now safer,
Somali farmers and livestock exporters have been able to
increase their access to the enormous markets on the
Arabian Peninsula. It is estimated that the livestock
industry contributes 40 per cent to Somalia’s Gross
Domestic Product, so ensuring that the trading routes
remain open is crucial.
