The Indian Navy and Indonesian Navy are conducting the 39th iteration of the India-Indonesia Coordinated Patrol (Ind-Indo Corpat) from December 8 to December 19, 2022.

The pre-deployment briefing in Belawan, Indonesia, was attended by the Indian Naval Ship (INS) Karmuk, a missile corvette manufactured indigenously.

On December 15 and 16, the Corpat will be carried out along the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL), and it will end with a debrief in Port Blair.

Later, INS Karmuk will take part in Corpat together with the indigenously constructed Landing Craft Utility vessel L-58 and the Dornier Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The Indonesian team would be represented by KRI Cut Nyak Dien, a Corvette of the Kapitan Pattimura class.

The Indian Navy has been actively interacting with nations in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) to improve maritime security throughout the region as part of the Government of India’s vision of SAGAR (Security And Growth for All in the Region).

Since 2002, India and Indonesia have conducted Corpats twice a year to maintain the safety and security of this crucial area of the IOR for commercial ships, international trade, and the conduct of legal maritime operations.

In addition to facilitating the establishment of measures to combat and deter illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, drug trafficking, maritime terrorism, armed robbery, and piracy, Corpats also assist in fostering mutual understanding and interoperability between fleets.

By exchanging information for the purpose of stopping smuggling, stopping illegal immigration, and conducting search and rescue (SAR) operations at sea, it also contributes to improving operational synergy.

India and Indonesia have always had a strong and friendly relationship that has included many exchanges and events. The 39th iteration of Ind-Indo Corpat aims to strengthen maritime cooperation between the two navies and create enduring friendships between India and Indonesia.
