During her stay in Port Louis, the ship’s crew will engage in professional and social interactions, harbour training for NCG personnel, community service, and friendly sports events. Upon arrival on 19 June, the ship’s Commanding Officer paid courtesy calls on the Commissioner of the Mauritius Coast Guard (COMCG), the Commissioner of Police, and the Secretary to the Cabinet, reinforcing India-Mauritius maritime cooperation.
NCG personnel will receive training onboard INS Teg in various naval disciplines, including fire fighting, damage control, and basic seamanship. Meanwhile, the crew of INS Teg will be familiarised with NCG facilities to foster mutual understanding and interoperability.
