Bangladesh Navy yesterday offered Lebanese navy thorough training in naval aspects on maritime strategy and warfare as Lebanon strives to upgrade its capability.
Bangladesh's Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (operations) Rear Admiral AMMM Aurangzeb Chowdhury met Lebanese Armed Forces Chief of Staff Maj Gen Walid Salman in Beirut and made the offer.
Lebanese navy said it is keen on sending its personnel for training and sought for detailed curriculum.
Aurangzeb is now in Beirut to send back two Bangladeshi naval ships--BNS Osman and BNS Madhumati, which are on UN duty--home. They will be replaced by two more ships--BNS Ali Haider and BNS Nirmul.
These two ships have completed four years of continuous duty as part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil).
Unifil launched its lone maritime taskforce in Lebanon after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2006. Israel had demanded that the sea route for weapon smuggling into Lebanon be stopped as a prerequisite to its withdrawal.
Bangladesh joined this taskforce in 2010 with 320 sailors and officers. Other countries participating in the taskforce are Germany, Brazil, Greece, Indonesia and Turkey.
Lebanese Armed Forces Chief of Staff Salman yesterday gratefully recalled the role of Bangladesh navy in securing his country's maritime boundary. “We want Bangladesh to continue the maritime interdiction operation,” he said. “Because of them no ships carrying weapons could illegally enter Lebanon. This played a big role in maintaining peace.”
Commanding officer of BNS Osman Capt Abul Kalam Azad was also present during the meeting.

Navy chief visits Bangladesh to strengthen bilateral defence relations

Naval cooperation between the two countries has traditionally been strong, encompassing a wide array of activities
Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS) of the Indian Navy, has commenced a four-day official visit to Bangladesh from July 1 to July 4, 2024 aimed at consolidating bilateral defence relations and exploring new avenues for naval cooperation.
The visit, which comes shortly after the state visit of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India on June 21-22, 2024, holds particular significance against the backdrop of growing regional geopolitical dynamics. It underscores India's commitment to maintaining and strengthening its longstanding defence partnership with Bangladesh.
On reaching Dhaka, Admiral Tripathi met his Bangladeshi counterpart Admiral M Nazmul Hassan at the Naval Headquarters where he was accorded a warm reception. He also paid tribute to the bravehearts of the Bangladesh Armed Forces who made the supreme sacrifice during the Liberation War at the Shikha Anirban (eternal flame).
Comprehensive bilateral discussions between the naval chiefs of India and Bangladesh are expected to explore new opportunities for cooperation, particularly in the areas of maritime security, counter-piracy operations, and disaster response. These efforts align with the broader strategic objectives of both nations to enhance regional stability and security.
In addition to his engagements with the Bangladesh Navy top brass, Admiral Tripathi will also meet with senior leadership across Bangladesh's defence and government sectors. This includes bilateral discussions with General Waker-Uz-Zaman, Chief of the Army Staff of the Bangladesh Army, Air Marshal Hasan Mahmood Khan, Chief of the Air Staff of the Bangladesh Air Force, and Lt Gen Mizanur Rahman Shameem, Principal Staff Officer of the Armed Forces Division.
The CNS is also set to address participants at the National Defence College in Dhaka and visit several key defence facilities.
Naval cooperation between the two countries has traditionally been strong, encompassing a wide array of activities such as operational interactions through port calls, bilateral naval exercises, and initiatives focused on capacity building, capability enhancement, and training. "The visit of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Indian Navy will further strengthen the strong bonds of friendship between the navies of both countries," India's Ministry of Defence said on Sunday (June 30, 2024)
A Symbol of Friendship: INS Ranvir at Chattogram
Ahead of Admiral Tripathi's visit, the Indian Naval Ship INS Ranvir, of the Eastern Fleet under the aegis of the Eastern Naval Command, arrived at Chattogram, Bangladesh, on June 29, 2024, as part of an Operational Deployment. The ship was accorded a warm welcome by the Bangladesh Navy, symbolizing the deep-rooted and resilient friendship between the two nations.
During the harbour phase of INS Ranvir's deployment, personnel from both navies will engage in a series of professional interactions. These include Subject Matter Expert Exchange (SMEE) programs, cross-deck visits, community outreach initiatives, and friendly sports fixtures. These activities are designed to foster mutual understanding, enhance operational capabilities, and further strengthen maritime linkages between the two nations.
Following the completion of the harbour phase, INS Ranvir will participate in a Maritime Partnership Exercise (MPX)/PASSEX with ships of the Bangladesh Navy. This exercise will serve as a practical demonstration of the strong operational cooperation between the two navies and their shared commitment to ensuring maritime security in the region.
"The visit will further strengthen the longstanding friendship, cooperation as also the robust interoperability between both nations through a series of engagements and activities aligned with the Government of India's focus on Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR)," India's Ministry of Defence said.
INS Ranvir, a Rajput Class Guided Missile Destroyer, has undergone upgrades with state-of-the-art weapons and sensors, the majority of which are indigenous, reiterating the Indian Navy's steadfast focus on Aatmanirbharta (self-reliance).

Tug-building deal with Bangladesh Navy lifts Indian shipbuilder's shares
Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd's share price rose from INR 2,099 on June 28 to INR 2,473.95 as of today
Indian shipbuilder's shares jumped after deal with Bangladesh Navy
Shares of an Indian warship builder jumped Monday after announcing that it signed a $21 million contract to make an advanced ocean-going tug for Bangladesh Navy.
The vessel builder, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd (GRSE), under the control of India's defence ministry, saw the prices of its shares going up from INR 2,099 on June 28 to close at INR 2,306 on July 1, posting a 9.86 percent gain after the announcement.
Today, its shares soared to as high as INR 2,473.95 at 9.25 am in intraday trade before paring down the gains on the National Stock Exchange (BSE).
GRSE said the tug would be primarily used in towing ships at sea, both alongside and astern, assisting them during berthing and casting off, and aiding in turning through pushing and pulling.
Its secondary roles would be to provide firefighting support to ships at sea and take pollution control measures on a limited scale.
The vessel will be nearly 61 metres long and 15.80 metres wide, with a maximum speed of at least 13 knots when fully loaded, according to the statement by the company issued from Kolkata yesterday.
The vessel would also have the capacity to carry out rescue and salvage operations at sea.
It would be equipped with advanced computer-controlled system that allows a ship to maintain its heading and position without the use of mooring lines or anchors, said the GRSE.
The ocean-going tug will be delivered to Bangladesh within 24 months as per the contract, according to information given by GRSE to the Indian National Stock Exchange.
A few weeks ago, GRSE had signed another contract with Bangladesh for delivery of a Trailing Suction Dredger, according to the press release.

The Bangladesh Navy has signed a deal with India's Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) for an 800-tonne ocean-going tug — a major contract to be signed under a $500-million line of credit that was extended to Bangladesh by India for the purchase of defence equipment.
The deal was inked in Dhaka on Sunday in the presence of representatives of GRSE and the Bangladesh Navy's directorate general of defence purchases.
It coincided with a four-day visit to Bangladesh by Indian Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, which was aimed at strengthening bilateral defence relations between India and Bangladesh and to explore new avenues for naval cooperation.
As per GRSE, the ship worth approximately $21 million will be delivered to Bangladesh within 24 months as per the contract. The vessel will be nearly 61 metres long and 15.80 metres wide, with a maximum speed of at least 13 knots when fully loaded.
As per officials, the platform would help tow ships at sea, and will also be capable of carrying out rescue operations at sea.
The development comes amid an increasing Chinese footprint in Bangladesh's defence market. Currently, the Bangladesh Navy has several warships of Chinese origin. It also bought two submarines from China in 2016.
A senior defence official said the deal is critical as it helps expand India-Bangladesh maritime engagement beyond joint exercises and training between the two navies.
The official added that apart from strengthening defence ties between the two countries, it will also be logistically convenient due to the close proximity of Kolkata-based GRSE shipyard to Bangladesh.
Among other countries, India has been closely looking at expanding its defence foothold in the Bangladesh market.
A senior defence official told The Indian Express that India has been encouraging Bangladesh to send its naval assets to Indian shipyards for repair and refit. The official said an Indian shipyard carrying out overhauls of its existing warships will not just boost the Indian defence industry, but also help Bangladesh save the time and costs incurred by the country to send its assets elsewhere.
"It also gives Bangladesh an opportunity to closely look at the excellent quality of shipbuilding in India, helping the country decide on its future procurements from India," the official said.
Last month, both countries agreed to strengthen defence cooperation during Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to India.
Last month, GRSE signed a contract with Germany's Carsten Rehder Schiffsmakler and Reederei GmbH & Co to construct four multi-purpose vessels of 7,500 DWT each. It has earlier exported an offshore patrol vessel and a fast patrol vessel to Mauritius and Seychelles respectively.
