Border Guard and police train together for maritime security in Helsinki
Published
The Finnish Border Guard and the police will begin a maritime special forces exercise in Helsinki on Monday. According to an official press release, the purpose of the exercise is to develop cooperation between the authorities at sea and to improve readiness for various security situations.
During the exercise, special forces will practise, among other things, ship inspections and operations on urban waterways. The participants will work together so that they learn to act quickly and safely, including in difficult conditions. Detailed information about the duration and locations of the exercise is not yet fully public.
Maritime security is an important issue for Finland, as a large part of the country's foreign trade travels by sea. For this reason, the authorities' capabilities to operate in sea areas are also important to citizens.
The exercise will continue for several days, and the authorities will provide updates on its progress. More information is available on the websites of the Border Guard and the police.
