New Delhi: Indian Naval Ship (INS) Surat arrived at Muscat, Oman, on November 8 to participate in the 15th edition of the bilateral maritime exercise Naseem Al Bahr (Sea Breeze) with the Royal Navy of Oman, followed by a Coordinated Patrol (CORPAT).
The exercise will feature a range of harbour and sea-phase activities, including cross-deck visits, professional exchanges, operational interactions and sporting events aimed at enhancing interoperability and mutual understanding between the two navies.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the engagement reflects the strong maritime partnership between India and Oman and seeks to build on the momentum generated during the 13th Joint Military Cooperation Committee meeting held in November 2025.
The port call is also aligned with India’s MAHASAGAR vision (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions), which promotes regional maritime security, cooperation and sustainable growth across the Indian Ocean region.
