This week 22 crewmembers underwent the Navigate Safely training. It was an intense week which allowed us to better get to know the ship, both alongside and at sea. Now it’s time to break off for the summer holidays!

Last week, together with 4 other crewmembers, we retrieved the ship's bell from our patron city @visittournai, so that it can placed on board.
We've also receive from @McMarghem , the Mayor of Tournai, a coin that is the exact same as the one welded onto the ship's keel.

Le baptême du M940 Oostende, un moment tout à fait exceptionnel dans l'histoire de notre Marine. Ce navire est le précurseur d'une toute nouvelle génération de navires de lutte contre les mines. La cérémonie s'est déroulée sous un soleil radieux dans la ville marraine !

Last dry dock for the #M941Tournai before delivery. 3 weeks to apply fresh anti-fouling, change the anodes, clean the blades and so on and so forth. Gotta look sharp for homecoming in September!

Fair winds and following seas to our BE and NL colleagues! 💪
