​Visakhapatnam: Indian Naval Ships Sahyadri and Kamorta arrived at Singapore Port on Friday. The vessels will stay there till May 21, a release issued by Easter Naval Command said here. The ships will participate in the International Maritime Review and lMDEX-17.
Admiral Sunil Lanba, Chief of Naval Staff, Indian Navy, would also be attending the events ashore. During the port visit, various calls by the visiting fleet would be organised in addition to those scheduled as part of IMR and IMDEX-17.
Thereafter the four Indian Naval Ships and an Indian Navy Long Range Maritime Patrol and Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft P-8l would exercise with the RSN and RSAF as part of SIMBEX-17.
Held since 1994, this year would be the 24th edition of the annual maritime bilateral exercise between the two countries which aims to further cement the defence cooperation between the two countries.
A number of Naval assets have been increasingly deployed in recent times to address the main maritime concerns of the region.
In addition, as part of the Indian Government’s vision of SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region), the Indian Navy has also been involved in assisting countries in the Indian Ocean Region with EEZ surveillance, search and rescue, and other capacity-building and capability-enhancement activities.
The current deployment will contribute towards the Indian Navy’s efforts to consolidate inter-operability and forge strong bonds of friendship across the seas.
INS Sahyadri, a multi-role stealth frigate, is commanded by Captain Anil Jaggi while INS Kamorta, an Anti-Submarine Warfare Corvette, is commanded by Commander Vipin Gupta. Both ships are indigenously designed and built.
During the stay in harbour, various activities such as official calls, formal reception on board ships, ships open to visitors, guided tours for Indian naval personnel and professional interaction between naval personnel of both the nations have been planned. The last visit by an Indian Naval Ship to Singapore was by INS Satpura in September last year.
