During ESPS Galicia's recent port visit to Dar Es Salaam, members of her ship's company went on board two merchant ships, MV ARCADIA and MV KOTA GAYA, which were also alongside the busy port, to speak to the crews about the recent piracy incidents.
As well as remaining vigilant when transiting the piracy high risk areas in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, ESPS Galicia’s sailors reinforced the need to report any suspicious activity at sea to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Centre and to the Maritime Security Centre – Horn of Africa (MSCHOA).
Both crews demonstrated their keen adherence to BMP4 as key to protecting themselves against the piracy threat.
