COPENHAGEN- Denmark said on Thursday it will contribute a ship and a helicopter to a European-led naval mission in the Strait of Hormuz for a four-month period.

It will also send one or two officers to the mission's French-led headquarters in Abu Dhabi from the beginning of next year. The ship with around 155 staff will contribute from the autumn 2020, it said.
