Two ships from Lithuania - patrol vessel „Žemaitis“ and minesweeper „Skalvis“ – are participating in the 13th edition of maritime exercise Northern Coasts (NOCO). Over 40 ships from 18 nations have gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark for NOCO, which runs through September 18. Northern Coasts is a recurring exercise, which has been taking place in the Baltic Sea since 2007. It is hosted by a different Baltic Sea state each year. Lithuania’s ambassador to Denmark Gintė Damušis, accompanied by Embassy Minister Counsellor Vaidotas Karvelis, visited both navy vessels in Copenhagen harbour at the invitation of the ship commanders.
