The Netherlands Ambassador to Senegal, the honorable Gerben de Jong, symbolically 'hands over the keys' for two river boats, donated by the Dutch government, to Mohamed Salem Ould Merzoug, the president of Organization de la Mise en Valeur du Fleuve Senegal during a donation ceremony here, Oct. 7. The boats will be used to survey the length of the Senegal river and were transferred from the Netherlands to Senegal aboard the Dutch amphibious ship HNLMS Johan De Witt as part of the first European-led Africa Partnership Station deployment. Johan De Witt is the first European-led APS platform which will be led by the Dutch with the support of Belgium, Portugal and the United States. This endeavor is being conducted in cooperation with U.S. Naval Forces Africa and will be executed by embarked command and multi-national support elements.
