Ship blockades pirate camp
The multinational European Naval Force in Somalia (EU NAVFOR Somalia) said it has effectively blocked pirates from gaining access to the open sea.
It said the Dutch amphibious warship HNLMS Johan de Witt “is providing an excellent blocking force and very effectively denying pirate access to the high sea at a time when worsening weather conditions is making pirate operations increasingly more difficult.”
The Johan de Witt is able from a dock within the ship, to launch a number of smaller landing craft that can blockade selected pirate areas of the Somali Coast.
