The exercise focused on practicing information and report mechanisms, dealing with terrorism-related situations, releasing hostage situations, clearing bombs and mines, persuing terrorist at sea, and in performing fire-fighting as well as search and rescue missions.

It was aimed at evaluating the enforcement of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, its command and coordination capabilities, the smooth communications of information and logistics, the implementation of operational plans and skills, as well as use of specialized equipment in addressing terrorism-related situations at sea to complete anti-terrorism plans in line with real navigation situations.

Here are some photos of the exercise.
