Answer
Prior to any Port visit the Royal Navy reviews the latest Government threat assessment for that country and takes appropriate action to mitigate any risks to its personnel. This is as true for the Seychelles as any other location. Before personnel go ashore they are briefed about any risks they may face and they are advised on any appropriate personal security measures.
