INS Sutlej successfully completed a joint hydrographic survey with the Mauritius Hydrographic Service, covering an area of 35,000 square nautical miles. The survey was conducted in close coordination with national agencies under the existing MoU between India and Mauritius.
The survey will help in marine charting, coastal regulation, resource management, and long-term environmental planning, thereby supporting Mauritius’ Blue Economy goals.
As part of the mission’s capacity-building efforts, six personnel from various Mauritian ministries embarked onboard INS Sutlej for hands-on training in modern hydrographic techniques.
INS Sutlej also carried out joint EEZ surveillance and anti-piracy patrols with the Mauritius National Coast Guard, strengthening regional maritime security.
At a ceremony held onboard, the fairsheet of the completed survey was formally handed over to Mauritian authorities in the presence of Shakeel Ahmed Yousuf Abdul Razack Mohamed, Minister of Housing and Lands, and Anurag Srivastava, High Commissioner of India to Mauritius.
