Exercise Maritime Cooperation is running for the third time since its inauguration in 2015.

In an earlier statement on Aug 29, Mindef said personnel from both navies will engage in exercises such as gunnery firing, helicopter cross-deck landing and familiarisation of voice procedures for simulated firings. The exercise’s opening ceremony was held at Ma Xie Naval Base in Zhanjiang, China, on Sept 1, with about 200 personnel from both navies in attendance.
