MEMBERS OF ESPS TORNADO WITH MEMBERS OF THE TANZANIAN NAVY

During their recent port visit to Dar Es Salaam, EU Naval Force (EU NAVFOR) Spanish Offshore Patrol Vessel, ESPS Tornado, conducted training with a team from the Tanzanian Navy. Nineteen members of the Tanzanian Navy were given a briefing on boarding operations, followed by a boarding exercise.

The training afternoon was viewed as a great success, contributing to the growing mutual understanding between EU Naval Force and the Tanzanian Forces, who are a key regional partner in the counter-piracy effort.

On completion of the training, one of the Tanzanian trainees stated “This has been a great opportunity to build relations with the EU Naval Force.”
