Indian Coast Guard (ICG) Offshore Patrol Vessel Sujay, with an integral helicopter, made a port call at Incheon, South Korea on September 04, 2024, as part of its ongoing overseas deployment to East Asia. During the four-day visit, the ICG crew will engage in professional interactions with the Korea Coast Guard (KCG), focusing on Marine Pollution Response, Maritime Search and Rescue and Maritime Law Enforcement. The activities also include cross-deck training, joint yoga sessions, friendly sports events and Passage Exercises with the KCG.
A total of 10 cadets from NCC aboard the ICG Ship will participate in an Environment Protection Walkathon towards sensitising the community on the ill effects of marine plastic pollution with local youth organisations, in line with the Government’s initiative ‘Puneet Sagar Abhiyan’ and enhancing international outreach.
The port visit of the ICG ship, during the conduct of the 20th Head of Coast Guard Agency Meeting at Incheon, highlights ICG’s resolve and shared concern towards addressing maritime contemporary challenges for the common global good.
On March 13, 2006, ICG signed a MoU with KCG, towards enhanced maritime cooperation and institutionalised its cooperative engagements. Before the visit, ICG Ship Sujay had made port calls to Jakarta, Indonesia demonstrating a seamless continuation of diplomatic maritime engagements in the region.
