00:28having the commodore to visit is never good so the commodore to visit is a pain in the arse
00:56I call it on 16, so it's up to 69
01:13Motor vessel Valadero, this is coalition warship Foxtrot 310 operating in support of the United
01:20Nations Security Council Resolution 110. Sir, I request your cooperation in answering the
01:27following questions. So today what we've been doing is carrying out a maritime interdiction
01:32operations drill. So what does that actually mean? That means that we have sent a boarding
01:38team from this ship, the Norwegian ship, the Fridhof Nansen, over to a target vessel as
01:44part of the exercise.
01:46...Wishwashed Foxtrot 310, that is well understood.
01:51...Avricargo is general freight, is prepaid freight in crates.
01:59...We conducted a standard hailing, tried to figure out who this is, where it's going,
02:09where it's come from.
02:11...I request you state whether or not you have any animals on board. Over.
02:17Now we had, we did have a goat, we had a goat, but we eat goat, so now no more
02:26goat, but
02:26no animals.
02:31Any weapons are carried on board the vessel and their location, over.
02:38No, no, we don't have any weapons, we are peaceful freighter.
02:43It is my intention to execute the right to send the boarding party to examine your manifest
02:48and cargo and to conduct the search of your vessel in accordance with international law and
02:53the United Nations Security Council Resolution 110.
03:17It's not so often that we do this in this scale, but the most important thing is that everyone
03:22will come back, everyone will come back, everyone will come back.
03:25So this exercise was done together with the US Navy, to work together on how to have a visitation
03:36on board ships.
03:41Keep clear. Awesome, good to go.
03:46Good to go.
04:07All right.
04:17What we've done today is we've exercised the teams for real because there's nothing like live exercising with our partners
04:24to show what we're capable of, building trust between each other.
05:08The first one on the boat, we'll see what we're doing.
05:11The first one on the boat.
05:18So our team embarked the vessel and did a standard visitation.
05:49The second one is the one on the boat.
05:54The second one is the one on the boat.
06:16So one crew is, or part of the team is up on the bridge and checking papers and talking
06:23with the captain.
06:35Do you have the papers ready?
06:37Yes, all papers are right here for ship, crew list and all declarations and passports.
06:44Perfect.
07:03What I would say about NATO is it's made up of 32 nations, over 25 of those are maritime
07:10nations and every single country has something to bring and contribute.
07:14Whether that's geographical basing, intelligence, expertise and you'll find that there are
07:21some countries that might seem smaller on the map but their contribution is huge based
07:26on the skills that they bring.
07:47This is the longest sustained period of peace in Europe and I think everyone recognizes the
07:52value of those institutions that defend the things that we love.
08:02one, two, three, spin it!
08:05One, two, three, spin it!
08:20One, two, three!
08:21One, two, three!
08:21One, two, three, spin it!
