16.01.2012 EU NAVFOR

A new user-friendly website EU Naval Force is pleased to announce the release of our new website, designed with an attractive new look, user-friendly navigation, interactive facts and figures section, and integration with social media channels.

Interactive research tool All the features of the previous website have been retained. In addition, we have added an interactive facts and figures section which contains details of the vessels and hostages currently held by pirates, gives details of reported piracy incidents since 2009, and interactive tables and graphs which can display historic statistics about piracy and Operation Atalanta.

Social media channels Our website is now connected to our Twitter page, we have a Vimeo page containing videos from throughout the Operation, and we now have a Flickr account containing high resolution images that you can download and use. Whether your needs are research, commercial or just personal interest, we hope that you will enjoy browsing our new site, finding more information about us and our work countering piracy off Somalia, and above all that you will find it a useful tool. If you have any feedback about our new website please contact us either at media@eunavfor.eu or via our Enquiry Form.
