EUCAP Somalia organised and delivered a basic training on Communication System and Procedures, developed for the Somali Maritime Police Unit in Mogadishu.
Police officers operating at sea need to ensure a robust communication system among boats and between them and their land based headquarters.
The Mogadishu harbour and the coastal sites are the areas daily covered by Somali police forces.
The trainees (5 communication officers) were taught on various specialised topics including VHF (Very High Frequency) equipment, channels (marine and distress channels), operational range, preparation of call-sign, international sentences and spelling of international alphabet.
