Mauritius: Hudrographic Cooperation - Ins Darshak On Survey Mission in Mauritius

press release

Indian Naval Ship (INS) Darshak arrived in Mauritius this morning to carry out, for a period of one month, multi-disciplinary surveys under the Memorandum of Understanding on Hydrographic Cooperation between the Government of India and Republic of Mauritius. The request for surveys was made to Indian authorities for deployment of a survey ship in August 2019 during the 12th Joint Committee Meeting on Hydrography held at New Delhi, India. The surveys during this deployment will be jointly undertaken by Mauritian and Indian officers.

The deployment of INS Darshak is very important for undertaking the bathymetric surveys required for the publishing of a new navigational chart to comply with the enhanced charting scheme executed by the National Hydrographic Office, India. Detailed bathymetric survey would be carried out for the first time at Souillac and thereafter a new large scale chart covering the area would be published. Apart from the sea faring community, the chart will be of immense value to various stakeholders, especially those planning development activities in the maritime domain in the southern part of Mauritius, where until now, very limited data is available.
