EU Naval Force Supports EUCAP Nestor-Led Training Course for Somali Coast Guard and Port Police in Djibouti
ON 8 October, Somali Coast Guard and Port Police Forces participating in a training course held by EUCAP Nestor in Djibouti had the opportunity to visit two EU Naval Force Warships, FGS Lübeck and FGS Berlin.
The trainees from Somalia were split into two groups and attended briefing sessions on both ships about their capabilities. The briefing was followed by a tour of the ships and by a question and answer session where the participants could ask experienced naval officers about their daily work. The participants were very interested and asked many questions, particularly about the Replenishment at Sea (RAS) capabilities of the FGS Berlin and boarding operations conducted by the FGS Lübeck during its deployment as part of EU Naval Force.
The group took part in a Coast Guard Basic Training Course conducted in Djibouti by EUCAP Nestor. Such courses are held regularly by EUCAP Nestor for different levels of participants, from new recruits to senior officers. A port control course for 6 Officers from the Port of Mogadishu is, for example, currently taking place in cooperation with Djibouti Port Authorities and the Navy.
