The first week of November, the Chilean Navy conducted an exercise in the Bay of Coronel, close to Concepcion on the Pacific Coast. The focus was on demonstrating and improving the Navy’s ability to locate a DISSUB as well as when located, conduct intervention operations like debris clearing and POD posting.

One submarine, an aircraft, several surface vessels, USVs, ROVs, divers and other assets were involved in the exercise.

The exercise provided a valuable opportunity for participants to collaborate and coordinate in a multinational context, reflecting ISMERLO’s commitment to fostering worldwide cooperation in submarine rescue and safety.
