Israeli personnel involved in maritime rescue have just attended a month-long training course conducted by the Armed Forces of Malta’s mobile training team.
The four Maltese soldiers who travelled to Israel are trained in search and rescue operations.
The 40 people who attended the course ranged from top officials of the Maritime Administration to officers from the Israeli Defence Force and representatives of the port authorities and shipping companies.
An operational maritime law awareness course was also delivered to lawyers and senior staff of the Maritime Administration.
