Singapore.
Singapore and Indonesia signed a submarine rescue support and
cooperation agreement on Monday, making it the first such arrangement
between Asean countries.
The
arrangement means that the Republic of Singapore Navy's (RSN) submarine
rescue system will be made available to the Indonesian Navy, whose
resources will also support the RSN in the event of a submarine
disaster.
The
RSN's submarine rescue system comprises a submarine and rescue support
vessel called the MV Swift Rescue, and a submersible rescue vessel, the
Deep Search and Rescue Six.
The two navies will also develop a joint standard for conducting rescue operations together.
An
online portal that links up the naval operation centers of all 10 Asean
countries was also launched yesterday. The ceremony was attended by the
navy chiefs from Brunei, Malaysia and Thailand.
Spearheaded
by the Singapore and Indonesian navies, the Asean Information-Sharing
Portal will enable naval commanders to exchange information in real time
through a group chat function.
To
facilitate this exchange of information, the portal also has real-time
translation capabilities and can translate between languages such as
English, Bahasa Indonesia, Thai and Vietnamese. The translation engine
is also able to recognize and translate specific naval terms.
Commanders
can also access the portal on smartphones running both the Android and
iOS operating systems, allowing them to receive maritime security alerts
and continue group discussions on the move.
The portal is being tested by about 60 personnel from Asean navies in an inaugural three-day exercise that ends Tuesday.
