Gibraltar - 27th March 2014 - Pictured a Spanish state Fishery Protection vessel turns to head away after a prolonged stand-off with the Royal Navy after it approached fishing vessels in Gibraltar waters. In attendance was already a Guardia Civil patrol boat (far right). At approximately 1100hrs on the 27th March 2015 Spanish state Fishery Protection, Guardia Civil and Maritime Search and Rescue vessels made two separate incursions into British Gibraltar Waters.
