Indian Naval Ships of the 1st Training Squadron INS Tir, Sujata and ICGS Sarthi carried out joint surveillance and Passage Exercise (PASSEX) with Seychelles Coast Guard vessel PS Andromache after departing Port Victoria.
The PASSEX reinforced the close maritime security partnership between India and Seychelles.
PASSEX provides an opportunity for ships and crew to practise operating together at seaโstrengthening communication, coordination and interoperability while honing seamanship skills.
The PASSEX marked a culmination of the visiting shipsโ engagements in Seychelles. Furthermore, it spotlit an enduring friendship and a shared commitment to a safe, secure and stable Indian Ocean Region.
