INS Sudarshini Arrives At Casablanca Morocco

22 Apr 2026 CW Team

On arrival the commanding officer of INS Sudarshini called on Cmde Hassan Akouli, Commander of the Central Maritime Sector of the Royal Moroccan Navy, and on Cmde Omar Nasri, Director of the Royal Naval School, Morocco. Discussions explored avenues for maritime collaboration and training exchanges. The meetings were aimed at deepening practical cooperation in seamanship and training.

During the three-day visit the crew will engage with Royal Moroccan Navy personnel, host senior officials and distinguished guests onboard, and take part in professional and cultural interactions to strengthen naval cooperation and diplomatic ties. The programme will provide exposure to crew and trainees while showcasing India’s proficiency in ocean sailing and international outreach. The exchanges aim to build goodwill and operational familiarity.

Over the past year four Indian naval ships — INS Tabar, INS Tarkash, INS Sumedha and INS Tushil — visited Casablanca, enhancing mutual trust and interoperability. Rear Admiral Mohamed Tahin, Inspector of the Royal Moroccan Navy, visited the Southern Naval Command in Nov 2025 as part of an official visit to India. These interactions contributed to sustained engagement and reciprocal understanding.

As INS Sudarshini continues its voyage across historic sea routes and international maritime corridors the expedition promotes the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and underscores India's commitment to global maritime cooperation and goodwill. The deployment seeks to combine professional development for trainees with diplomatic outreach to partner navies. The call at Casablanca formed part of a broader strategy of maritime engagement.
