The German Indo-Pacific convoy consisting of the frigate "Baden-Württemberg" and the task force vessel "Frankfurt am Main" is currently spending valuable time monitoring cargo traffic to North Korea, a country that is subject to several United Nations sanctions due to its nuclear weapons programme. Germany has pledged to help monitor the implementation of and compliance with these sanctions. This is most effective in the waters off the South Korean peninsula, where the association had just arrived for a visit in the port city of Incheon - 30 kilometres from Seoul.
