INS Sutlej Completes 18th Joint Hydrographic Survey with Mauritius

An Indian navy ship named INS Sutlej just finished a big job helping the country of Mauritius.

They mapped a large part of the ocean floor, like drawing a detailed map of the underwater world.

This helps Mauritius understand its waters better for fishing and protecting the environment.

Sailors from Mauritius also got training on how to use special mapping equipment.

Besides mapping, the ship also worked with Mauritius to keep the ocean safe from pirates and keep track of who is sailing in their waters.

They formally handed over the map information to Mauritius officials.

This is the 18th time India and Mauritius have done this together, showing they are good friends and partners in the ocean.
