Visit of 2 Moroccan Navy ships to Amsterdam harbour

[rené]

does anybody know if ships F 613 and 614 , which do have a hangar on board,
in fact carry a helicopter ?
arrival at Amsterdam PTA is planned for 18/3 09.15 (local).

I do not know the whereabouts of the Marrocan ships, but was of the impression that these two have just been delivered from the wharf at Vlissingen.
If such, than these ships may even never have been in Marroco yet so unlikely that they carry a helicopter. I hope I'm wrong...

According to Wikipedia, the 613 was commisioned in Sep 2011, the 614 in March 2012.
I also read on the web that Damen Shipyard has a maintenance facility in Brest - which is the port the two ships are sailing from to Amsterdam. So the two ships may have received maintenance in Brest.

As it's the Praethuys I'm free to speculate: I think that after maintenance in Brest, it's not very likely that the ships will have helos on board. Just a few days of patience and we will know!
