Sailors from the Royal Netherlands Navy have been using the facilities at HMS Raleigh to practise transferring stores and fuel between ships at sea.

The group of 12 Seaman Specialists have spent a week at the Royal Navy training base using Raleigh’s world leading replenishment-at-sea (RAS) trainer. The training course was delivered and assessed by three instructors from the Royal Netherlands Navy, with the support of the Royal Navy staff, and forms part of the Dutch sailors’ eight month course to prepare them for promotion.
