British donate coastguard ship to Seychelles
(B2) The British will bring a new coastguard boat to the Seychelles. He previously served with the Royal Sea Rescue Institution (RNLI).
14 meters long, this "all-weather" boat can reach a speed of 18 knots and has a range of 240 miles. Seychelles has asked its partners for help to strengthen its anti-piracy capabilities with two new ships.
The ship, named Baltic Exchange II has been renamed Fortune. He is expected to arrive within two months aboard a Royal Navy auxiliary vessel. This is not the first time that ships have been sent to the other side of the world to find a new view. 8 of them were thus sent to China.
