On Wednesday 12 August Operation Atalanta flagship, ESPS Galicia, hosted the Spanish Ambassador to Oman during a port visit to Muscat.
The Force Commander, Rear Admiral Alfonso Fernández Gómez de Córdoba, welcomed His Excellency Mr Juan José Urtasun on board.
During the visit, the Ambassador, together with the Chief of Operations for the Royal Navy of Oman, were briefed on the European Union’s counter-piracy operation off the coast of Somalia that Rear Admiral de Córdoba is currently commanding from ESPS Galicia.
Port visits such as this are an opportunity for the ship to re-supply stores and food.
