Counter-Piracy Force Commander Visits Djiboutian Navy Operations Centre
August 18, 2016 - 13:43Whilst on a visit to Djibouti, Operation Atalanta’s Force Commander recently visited the Djiboutian Navy’s Operations Centre.
Royal Netherlands Navy Commodore Luyckx received a briefing on the capabilities of the Djiboutian Navy by its Head of Operations and was impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the set up of the Centre which aims to protect maritime security in the waters off the Djiboutian coast.
