Under the command of corvette captain Oliver Brux (34), the boat took part in the European Union's Operation Irini. Its task was to monitor and enforce the arms embargo against Libya, but also to disrupt smuggling activities on the refugee routes in the Mediterranean. "Our main task in the unit was the image reconnaissance of suspicious ships and boats and therefore also the collection of information," said the commander. The operational area extended from the central and southern Mediterranean south of the island of Sicily to the territorial waters of Libya and Tunisia. During their deployment, the crew worked together with Italy, Greece and Portugal. After returning to the Home port Eckernförde the crew will first be on holiday for three weeks.
We reported on the departure on 12 June.
