EU NAVFOR

EU NAVFOR (European Union Naval Force) is a military mission established to protect ships and maritime routes from piracy and armed attacks, primarily off the coast of Somalia. Its goal is to ensure safe shipping, support maritime security, and contribute to stability in the region. The force involves naval vessels and personnel from various EU member states working together to monitor, escort, and defend commercial vessels against threats. By maintaining a visible naval presence, EU NAVFOR helps prevent hijackings, safeguard trade, and promote peace in the maritime environment.
