Barbieri, and by the commander of the unit, frigate captain Francesco Saladino, addressed a greeting to the crew gathered on the point of flight, thanking for the contribution provided by the ship's crew Carabiniere - Flagship of Task Force 465 - in the fight against the phenomenon of piracy in the Somali basin and in the Gulf of Aden, the ambit of the EU's Atalanta mission.
The stop in Dar es Salaam allowed the ship's crew Carabiniere to carry out civil-military cooperation activities with the execution of maintenance interventions and donations of materials and food in favor of Tanzanian hospitals and schools and humanitarian organizations.
