Indian Naval Ship (INS) Savitri, an Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) of the Eastern Fleet, arrived at Port Louis, Mauritius as part of a Long-Range Operational Deployment to the South West Indian Ocean Region. The ship received a warm and cordial welcome from the National Coast Guard of Mauritius.
INS Savitri will undertake crucial joint Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) surveillance activities alongside the Mauritius National Coast Guard (NCG) ships and aircraft. The joint surveillance is aimed at ensuring security across the maritime zones of Mauritius while simultaneously enhancing interoperability and coordination between the Indian Navy and the Mauritius NCG.
During the port call, the ship's crew will engage in a wide range of professional interactions, including dedicated training sessions for NCG personnel towards refining the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the conduct of joint operations. Personnel from both navies will come together to forge a stronger camaraderie in a round of friendly sports. Further, the ship will be open for visitors, thereby fostering stronger ties and promoting awareness of maritime defence among the local community.
The ship's visit reaffirms the strong defence cooperation between India and Mauritius - a partnership built on mutual trust, shared values, and common maritime interests.
