How long will they stay? Might be worth a visit IF they have a chopper on board.

Are the 2 Moroccan frigates coming from morocco or from Vlissingen? (All are build by De Schelde).
Maybe they will be officially handed over to the Moroccan Navy?
There is also a third one (F615). Last year seen at Den Helder. Any info?

I don't see the two frigates listed at the portofamsterdam website anymore (last week the two ships were listed). Can anyone confirm that the two Moroccan ships will still visit the Amsterdam harbour?

Thanks
