The Indian Navy is all set to launch its second Navika Sagar Parikrama expedition on 2 October 2024. The Indian Navy launched its first Navika Sagar Parikrama in 2017, manned by six female crew members, to circumnavigate the globe on board the Indian Naval Sailing Vessel Tarini, or INSV Tarini.
Lt Commander Vartika Joshi commanded the first Navika Sagar Parikrama.
The second edition of the Navika Sagar Parikrama will be helmed by Lt Cdr Roopa A from Puducherry and Lt Cdr Dilna K from Calicut. These Indian Naval officers from military family backgrounds have been undergoing training for the past three years under Commodore (Retd) Abhilash Tomy.
Commodore (Retd) Abhilash Tony was the first Asian skipper to participate in two global circumnavigations and completed the Golden Globe Race in 2022.
The Navik Sagar Parikrama is being conducted by the Indian Naval Sailing Association, based at Naval Headquarters, New Delhi, and Ocean Sailing Node, Goa, under the Southern Naval Command of the Indian Navy. Both nodal centres will coordinate the INSV Tarini voyage in cooperation with international maritime agencies and authorities.
The INSV Tarini will start its eight-month journey from Naval Ocean Sailing Node, INS Mandovi, Goa, on 2 October 2024. It is expected to cover 21,600 nautical miles (around 40,000 km), navigating high seas, extreme weather conditions, and three great capes.
It will pass through the three great Capes: Cape Leeuwin, Cape Horn, and the Cape of Good Hope.
