    ROYAL NAVY SEIZES OVER 450KG IN THE LARGEST METHAMPHETAMINE DRUG BUST IN THE MIDDLE EAST
    Image of sailors from HMS Montrose and Royal Marines from 10 Troop M Coy 42 Cdo, transit to a suspicious vessel during a counter-narcotics operation SEA SHIELD, in the Gulf today (14/10/2020).

    Sailors and Royal Marines from HMS Montrose intercepted over 450 kilograms of methamphetamine, with a wholesale value of £18 million, during a counter-narcotics operation in the Arabian Sea.

    The operation, which was part of the Combined Maritime Forces’ (CMF) Operation SEA SHIELD, was an international effort involving several of the CMF’s 33 member nations and partners.

    In rough seas, and aided by the ship’s Wildcat helicopter, sailors and Royal Marines conducted the boarding of the suspicious vessel, and during an extensive search discovered the 450kg haul hidden amongst the boat’s cargo.

    The crew of HMS Montrose are seen here carrying out a man overboard exercise (MOBEX), using a rigid hull inflatable boat.

    On Sunday 19th January 2020 HMS MONTROSE (stbd) conducted a man overboard exercise (MOBEX) after sailing from Bahrain.

    A MOBEX is always required within 24 hours of a ship sailing from harbour. In the event that a man falls over the side of the ship into the water, an alert will be made and whole ships reactions will be required. A MOBEX is not only carried out after sailing from harbour, they are part of regular training and part of life on board a warship.

    HMS MONTROSE is currently carrying out duties patrolling the Gulf, keeping the shipping lanes safe and ensuring that international trade is not threatened. In the first two months on patrol in 2019 HMS MONTROSE safeguarded over 6 million tonnes of British Shipping. HMS MONTROSE is also carrying out counter narcotic operations for CTF 150.

    HMS MONTROSE is a type 23 frigate originally based in Plymouth and is the Royal Navy’s forward operating ship based out in the Gulf for the upcoming years and works on a watch rotation basis.

  • REPORTAGE - Kaliningrad: Eine Stadt in Russland
    DUK10059925_008
    REPORTAGE - Kaliningrad: Eine Stadt in Russland
    April 06, 2017 - Baltiisk, Kaliningrad, Russia: Russian navy ships in the harbor of Baltiisk, the main Russian Navy Baltic base and seaport. The Kaliningrad governor is preparing legislation to create an electronic visa to facilitate travel to neighboring Poland and ease tensions between Russia and Europe. The federal center has not determined if the region is a fortress or a bridge and it could be the Baltic Strasbourg, a symbol of reconciliation. With a population of about 1 millionhe, the oblast's administrative center is Kaliningrad, formerly known as Königsberg. The territory was formerly part of East Prussia. With the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, it was informally annexed by the Soviet Union. Germany currently places no claims, however it also has not renounced any claims to the possibility of territory reunification. Following the expulsion of the German-speaking population, it was populated with citizens from the Soviet Union. Only a few thousand ethnic Germans remain, most of them recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Early in the 21st century, the flagging economy of Kaliningrad became one of the best performing economies in Russia.
