A picture taken on February 10, 2011 and released by the EU Navfor shows EU Navfor's warship FNS Pohjanmaa's boarding team goes onboard the fishing vessel Golden Wave. On 10 February, the EU Navfor warship FNS Pohjanmaa secured and assisted the fishing vessel Golden Wave after a request to assist from the South Korean government. The vessel was attacked on October 9, 2010 and had been in the hands of pirates for 123 days. FNS Pohjanmaa arrived on scene early in the morning and found the original crew of 43 persons on board. FNS Pohjanmaa's boarding team searched and secured the vessel, in order to make sure that no pirates were present. After securing the vessel, the FNS Pohjanmaa provided medical aid and basic necessities to the crew as they had been left without water or food. Pohjanmaa's doctor examined the crew and found that no one was seriously injured. The ship was in poor condition after its long captivity so the Finnish crew provided technical support to the ship. After this work was complete, the Golden Wave was reported seaworthy and able to sail its next destination.
