German Frigate Participating in UNIFIL Docks at Limassol Port

The German frigate FGS Nordrhein-Westfalen (F223), participating in UNIFIL, docked at the port of Limassol, replacing the Sachsen-Anhalt, which completed its mission. The presence of the frigate strengthens the naval force of the UNIFIL Maritime Task Force in the Eastern Mediterranean, protecting allies and the borders of the EU, during a period of increased tension in the Middle East. The Baden-Württemberg-class (F125) frigate has docked at the port of Limassol in the past.
