Coast Guard ship Sujay reaches Bali, to take part in various maritime activities

Indian Coast Guard (ICG) Offshore Patrol Vessel Sujay, with an integral helicopter, made a port call at Bali, Indonesia on September 18, 2024, for a three-day visit, as part of its ongoing overseas deployment to East Asia.
During its stay in Bali, the crew of ICGS Sujay will engage in professional interactions with Badan Keamanan Laut Republik Indonesia (the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency), focusing on operational turn around, marine pollution response, maritime search and rescue and maritime law enforcement.
The coast guards of both countries will also engage in activities like cross-deck training, joint yoga sessions and friendly sports events.
Additionally, 10 National Cadet Corpse (NCC) members aboard ICGS Sujay will participate in an environmental protection walkathon towards sensitising the community on the ill-effects of ‘marine pollution’ in collaboration with local youth organisations.
ICG, on July 06, 2020, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BAKAMLA to enhance maritime cooperation and institutionalised its cooperative engagements.
Prior to the visit, ICGS Sujay had made port calls to Jakarta, Indonesia and Incheon, South Korea, demonstrating a seamless continuation of diplomatic maritime engagements in the region.
The ship’s deployment to East Asia reflects India’s commitment to fostering warm relations with Indo-Pacific countries, promoting friendly relations through maritime cooperation.
