With a road worth of roughly $9.5 million that is the primary narcotics seizure because the French Navy took over command of CTF 150 from the UK in July. The Mixed Maritime Forces (CMF) stay dedicated to disrupting felony and terrorist actions by proscribing their freedom of maneuver within the maritime setting.
Capt Yannick Bossu, CTF 150 Commanding officer stated, “This seizure demonstrates as soon as once more the operational effectiveness of CTF 150 and illustrates the UK and France’s dedication to maritime safety alongside their regional and worldwide companions.”
Cmdr Chris Sharp, HMS Lancaster Commanding Officer remarked, “This success once more demonstrates how worldwide companions can work collectively in stopping unlawful maritime exercise which funds terrorist exercise. This was an amazing success shared by all these concerned.”
CTF 150 is among the 5 operational forces of CMF, a 38-nation maritime partnership headquartered in Bahrain. CMF strengthens the maritime safety on this strategic space, by countering actions that finance terrorism and worldwide crime. That is the twelfth time that France commanded CTF 150.
