A three ship task force of the South African Navy was yesterday en route to Dar es Salaam, after concluding a successful visit to Maputo in Mozambique.

The three ships, the hydrographic survey ship SAS Protea and two strike craft SAS Galashewe and SAS Isaac Dyobha, sailed from Maputo from 06.30 in the morning. During their visit to the Mozambique capital and main port, the crew enjoyed the hospitality of their Mozambique counterparts and used the opportunity for sightseeing.

But it wasn’t all fun and games and exercises were held with officers of the Mozambique Navy who took part in various Officer of the Watch manoeuvres.

A courtesy visit was also made to the Governor of Maputo and the chief of the Mozambique Navy.
