BARRACUDA series of exercises are being regularly hosted by Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) to combat the marine pollution in Pakistan. In this endeavor, other relevant stake holders, i.e. Pakistan Navy, National Port Authorities, Oil Marketing companies etc render their significant support to make these Exercises a success. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) acts to protect oceans and seas whereby all oil spills remain one of the most concerning sources of maritime pollution, as they require measured and well worked out responses to mitigate their side effects in marine environment. Therefore, this also caters for our international obligations towards safeguarding human life and property at sea by conducting, Search and Rescue (SAR) exercise. In continuation to this series of exercises, PMSA has planned to conduct EX BARRACUDA XII, schedule from 2-4 January 2024 which is aimed to rehearse/ refine our responses viz-a-vis protection of marine environment and SAR at sea.
