Police fast raiding ribs have been practicing chase and boarding operations in Portland Port Dorset, UK, before the arrival of the "Bibby Stockholm" immigration barge.

"This police activity has been going on for several days and there have at times been military units working with them over this week", explains the filmer.

The immigration barge which is currently in a dry dock in Falmouth will be soon towed up to the Dorset port where it will be located to house 500 men.

"The police exercises appear to be training to intercept and board protesters in boats who could be trying to prevent the towed barge from entering the port", said the filmer of this video. "Not only are they training within the port itself they are also carrying out chase and boarding operations in the more turbulent Weymouth Bay".
