The Armed Forces of Malta has said that 11 members of different Navies and Coast Guards from Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia and Morocco, have successfully completed a two-week Operational Maritime Law course.

The course was held at the Armed Forces of Malta’s Maritime Safety and Security Training Centre (MSSTC) and was a result of the collaboration between the Swiss Government and the Government of Malta in the field.

The AFM said that the Swiss Government sponsors this course on a yearly basis while the Armed Forces of Malta offers its expertise and facilities to deliver a successful course which is of mutual benefit for all participating countries.

Because of the diverse backgrounds, stemming from different roles of duty conducted in each student’s respective areas of operations combined, resulted in an outstanding opportunity to share experiences and discuss in critical depth the legal matters covered in the course, the AFM said.

Certificates of participation were distributed by Colonel of Capabilities and Training, Colonel C. Attard AFM in the presence of the Ambassador of Switzerland and other high-ranking officials.
