The Indian naval ship Trishul, visited Port Victoria from April 29 to May 7, 2014 as part of its mission to carry out surveillance of Seychelles’ EEZ (exclusive economic zone).
The Indian Navy has been carrying out surveillance of Seychelles’ EEZ for the past few years as part of a defence and security cooperation agreement between the governments of Seychelles and of India.
The ship was also carrying an air conditioning compressor for PS Topaz, which was repaired by Indian Navy.
INS Trishul is part of the Western Fleet of Indian Navy based in Mumbai. The frigate has a displacement of 4,000 tonnes and speed of 30 knots and is capable of accomplishing a wide variety of missions, primarily finding and eliminating enemy submarines and large surface ships. The ship is propelled by four gas turbines.
It carried out extensive EEZ surveillance in sectors selected by the Seychelles Coast Guard (SCG) from May 1-6 with SCG personnel onboard.
During the surveillance, the SCG personnel were trained in navigation, seamanship and various other ship related evolutions. This deployment adds one more chapter to the maritime cooperation between India and Seychelles.
During its stay at Port Victoria, INS Trishul had various interactions with the SCG. The new recruits undergoing training at the SCG base got an opportunity to visit the ship and imbibe various operational facets onboard a most modern frigate.
The ship donated some items for daily use onboard various SCG ships and the technical team of the ship provided expert assistance for minor defect rectification onboard various SCG ships.
Additionally, the ship’s team, including the ship’s doctor, visited Missionaries of Charity Old People’s Home at Anse Etoile where they interacted with the residents as well as provided assistance for area maintenance and medical support to the old age home.
At the helm of the ship is Commanding Officer Captain Sandeep Sharma. He is assisted by a team of professional and highly motivated Indian naval officers and men.
Accompanying the article are some photographs of the ship’s officers during various moments of their stay in Port Victoria.
