HNLMS EVERTSEN PROVIDING

HUMANITARIAN AID IN SOMALIA

The Dutch Navy vessel HNLMS Evertsen arrived in the port of Dar es Salaam on Wednesday 16 April 2008. She stayed until Sunday the 20th of April. The captain of HNLMS Evertsen, Commander R.A. Kramer, has decided to dock at the port of Dar es Salaam to give his crew the opportunity to make a recreational stop after weeks of hard work along the coast of Somalia.

The military task of HNLMS Evertsen is to protect the World Food Programme (WFP) sea transports of humanitarian aid supplies from Mombassa (Kenya) and Djibouti (Djibouti) to Mogadishu (Somalia) or other harbours along the coast of Somalia. This mission fits perfectly in the general task of the Royal Netherlands Navy: worldwide safety at sea.

The crew of HNLMS Evertsen enjoyed their stay in Dar es Salaam. Time to get back to work and out to sea!
