TNI AL & PLAN Joint drill

Chinese and foreign navies carry out first CUES joint drill Java Sea  A Chinese navy training taskforce composed of vessels “Zhenghe” and “Weifang” had a joint actual-troop drill of communication, formation change and other subjects with the Patrol Boat 813 of the Indonesian navy on the scenario of an unplanned encounter at sea during the noon time of June 7, 2014, local time, after wrapping up its visit to Indonesia. The drill was carried out according to The Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea (CUES) passed at the Western Pacific Naval Symposium (WPNS) in April this year.

This is the first Sino-foreign navy taskforce drill held according to the CUES, said Han Xiaohu, assistant to the chief of staff of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and commander of the training taskforce who participated in the proving, revision and implementation of the CUES. The drill further verified the necessity and feasibility of the CUES, improved the procedures and methods of relevant organization and command, and enhanced the traditional friendship between the Chinese and Indonesian navies.

Navies of both countries swiftly and efficiently conducted coordinated communication, sailing and other activities according to the CUES during the almost two-hour-long joint drill. After the drill, the officers and men of both sides fell into rank and waved goodbye to each other.

It is learnt that the CUES is a communication and coordination tool with no legal binding force that’s aimed to intensify the maritime safety of navies of all member countries of the WPNS. It plays a leading role in effectively utilizing international standards and strengthening international cooperation. At the WPNS where China acted as the host, the navies of all 21 member countries and four observer countries passed the CUES.

The joint drill showed that the CUES has effectively reduced mutual interference and misjudgment when navy vessels and aircraft of different countries have unplanned encounters at sea, providing an institutional guarantee and coordination mechanism for sailing and flight safety, said Chen Daqing, training vessel captain of the PLA Dalian Naval Academy who has participated in eight oceangoing voyage trainings and visits and sailed more than 300,000 nautical miles accumulatively.
