The patrol vessel "Atalaya" (P-74) completes its surveillance mission in the Strait of Gibraltar and waters near Ceuta

The offshore patrol vessel "Atalaya" (P-74) has successfully completed a 64-day maritime surveillance mission in the Strait of Gibraltar and waters near Ceuta. During this period, the ship has carried out tasks of monitoring and controlling maritime traffic to help ensure freedom of navigation.

The patrol vessel of the Navy departed at the end of August from its home port at the Military Arsenal of Ferrol to begin monitoring vessels passing through the Strait. It also provided support to the NATO operation "Sea Guardian".

The operational activity of the vessel was combined with training exercises for the crew, which focused on weapon handling and safety procedures on board.
