During the assignment, the Lobelia command was transferred on 26 April. Korvet captain Marleen van den Eynde passed the helm to Lieutenant-ter-Zee 1st class Gill Priem. According to the new commander from Roeselare, the mission is bearing fruit.
“As a result of the sabotage incidents Last year, NATO created a new assignment in which the maritime presence in the Baltic Sea was raised. That certainly had a positive effect. Since the increased presence in the region, no more incidents have been reported.”
