WILLEMSTAD - To further intensify the Coast Guard patrols, the militiamen of the Curaçao militia and the Aruban militia will be deployed during the patrols in the territorial waters of each island.
The militiamen have undergone extensive training to work with the coast guard personnel at sea. The Coast Guard uses all its units to monitor the coastlines against illegal practices. In addition to the expansion of the Coast Guard patrols with the militia, the station ship, Zr.Ms. Zeeland and the NH-90 helicopter will also patrol for the Coast Guard. Citizens can always call 913 if they see suspicious activities at sea or in the coastal strip.
