German Navy Frigate on a four day visit in Mumbai
MUMBAI: The German Frigate "Bremen" has arrived at Indira Dock, Mumbai Port Trust, on August 16. The German Navy vessel has sailed to Mumbai on its four day from August 16 to 20. The visit is an integral part of the "Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities" initiative and symbolizes the excellent bilateral relations between our two countries.
Officials said that the visit of the "Bremen" is happening on the heels of the talks held by the German Naval Chief of Staff in India in February.
In May, the Indian Navy had dispatched its Frigate INS "Teg" to Hamburg, Europe's second biggest port, on the occasion of the city's famous "Harbour Anniversary".
It was a three day visit kick started the year-long festivities of the "India Days in Germany"
in the presence of Commerce Minister Anand Sharma.
On the occasion of the visit of the "Bremen" in Mumbai, Acting Ambassador Cord Meier-Klodt stated: "I am delighted that we can celebrate "Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities" with such a symbolic highlight in India's most important harbour. India and Germany are strategic partners and the sky is the limit when it comes to deepening our friendship and broadening our cooperation."
Frigate "Bremen" was built at the Vulkan shipyard in Bremen, Germany and commissioned into service in 1982. It is a multi-purpose combat vessel with anti-submarine warfare and large capacities in anti-aircraft warfare. It carries 2 helicopters on-board. The ship is 130.5 m in length, travels at a speed of 30 knots (56 km/hr) and has 200 crew members.
During the Second Gulf War in 1991, it took part in surveillance duties in the Mediterranean Sea. Since 2009, it is part of the European Union Naval Force's "Operation Atalanta" in Somalia, a military operation launched to protect vessels delivering humanitarian aid to the Somalian population and to prevent and combat acts of piracy off the coast of Somalia.
This is the first visit of a German vessel in four years, the last being from in April 2008.
