The EU Naval Force off Somalia has published pictures of the Maltese Special Duties Enhanced Boarding Team (MSDEBT) training on board the Dutch warship De Zeven Provinciën.

Before the deployment started, the MSDEBT visited the Royal Netherlands Navy base in Den Helder to train on the ship with the onboard teams.

The training has continued during the deployment. It includes weapons firing, fast-rope exercises and boarding.  The MSDEBT adds frequent exercises with the ship’s medical department to maintain their medical capabilities.

The MSDEBT embarked on the Dutch frigate in May.
