European Maritime Engagement in the Strait of Hormuz: A Simple Mission in a Complex Area

摘要

MSD1 -21 provided insights into the EMASOH/Operation AGENOR from the bridge of a Danish frigate participating in the European Maritime Surveillance Mission in the Strait of Hormuz. We continue to look further into this maritime security initiative in which Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal are participating. Maritime Security & Defence spoke with Commodore Carsten Fjord-La rsen before he handed over responsibility as Force Commander to his Danish compatriot, Commodore Anders Friis. The change of command ceremony was held 17 April 2021 at the Headquarters in the French military base in Abu Dhabi.
