Indian Naval Ship Surat arrived at Muscat, Oman, on 08 Nov 2026 to participate in the
15th edition of the bilateral maritime exercise ‘Naseem Al Bahr’ (Sea Breeze),
followed by a Coordinated Patrol (CORPAT) between the Indian Navy and the Royal Navy
of Oman.
The exercise will comprise professional activities during the harbour and sea phases,
including cross-deck visits, operational interactions and sporting events. These activities
will provide opportunities for personnel of both Navies to exchange experiences and Best
Practices, enhance interoperability and foster greater mutual understanding.
The port call underscores the strong and enduring maritime partnership between India
and Oman, founded on longstanding ties between the two nations. It is in consonance
with the Government of India’s vision of MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic
Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions) and provides an opportunity to
build upon the momentum generated during the 13th edition of the Joint Military
Cooperation Committee meeting held on 24 Nov 2025
