On 26 February 2009, the Norwegian Parliament decided on the current anti- piracy mission of the European Union off the Somali coast (Operation Atalanta ) to participate and to send in the Gulf of Aden for this purpose the Fridtjof Nansen. The ship arrived in area of ​​operations in August 2009.

At present, the Fridtjof Nansen performs its mission without their on-board helicopter, since the delivery of the new NH -90 machines has been delayed. As a replacement for the missing helicopter the ship is seaworthy with two fast rigid inflatable boats.
