INS Sunayna Reaches Mauritius for Joint Patrols

Indian Naval Ship Sunayna (IOS SAGAR) arrived at Port Louis Harbour, Mauritius, on April 26 after completing Phase I of joint EEZ surveillance with the National Coast Guard of Mauritius. The deployment underscores India's commitment to maritime security, capacity building, and cooperation in the South Western Indian Ocean.

Sailing from Karwar on April 5, Sunayna embarked 44 naval personnel from nine Indian Ocean Region nations, including eight crew members from Mauritius. The initiative aims to boost interoperability, mutual learning, and regional maritime readiness among friendly countries.

Sunayna and her multinational crew were warmly received by top dignitaries, including Mauritius’s Commissioner of Police and officials from the Prime Minister’s Office, Mauritius Police Force, and Indian High Commission. The welcome ceremony was followed by ship tours and interactions with embarked personnel.

During the port call, the commanding officer will engage with senior leadership from the Mauritius Coast Guard and police, while the crew will visit key maritime and security units and participate in joint yoga sessions, trekking, and sports events. The ship will also be open to public visitors on April 27.

On departure, Sunayna will begin Phase II of joint EEZ surveillance with the National Coast Guard before proceeding to Port Victoria, Seychelles.

INS Sunayna, a Saryu-class offshore patrol vessel, is equipped for anti-piracy, maritime surveillance, and disaster response operations, with advanced gunnery systems, electronic warfare suites, and helicopter support for extended reach.
