More than 30 Dutch Royal Marines and Sailors from the Dutch amphibious ship HNLMS Johan De Witt, along with 5 Navy Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 who are embarked on the ship, went to work in Lungi in order to make repairs at the hospital. After the projects were fixed, the team also instructed the hospital staff on proper maintenance and emergency repair procedures to allow the staff to be able to deal with any problems in the future. Johan De Witt, a Royal Dutch Naval vessel, is the first European-led APS platform and is augmented by staff from Belgium, Portugal and the United States. APS, originally a Navy initiative, is now an international effort aimed at improving maritime safety and security for the continent of Africa through training and other collaborative activities with African partner countries.
