EU NAVFOR remains longer at sea
On 5 September, while patrolling in the Gulf of Aden, the EU NAVFOR Spanish ship INFANTA CRISTINA was replenished at seaby the EU NAVFOR German Oil Tanker FGS RHOEN.
In such an activity, the manoeuvring between the ships always has to be clear, safe and quick. In less than half an hour, replenishment was performed from one ship to the other and refuel was completed.
With replenishments at sea, tankers enable EU NAVFOR warships to remain longer at sea.
