About INSV Tarini

INSV Tarini is a 56-foot-long sailing vessel, built by Aquarius Shipyard Limited.

This is its second global circumnavigation mission, reinforcing the Navy's focus on women-led maritime expeditions.

Fact Box:

Important Points

The circumnavigation will cover around 23,000 nautical miles in around 240 days, across four continents through three oceans and three challenging capes unfolding in five legs with stopovers at four ports for replenishment and maintenance.
The five legs are Goa to Fremantle, Australia; Fremantle to Lyttleton, New Zealand; Lyttleton to Port Stanley, Falkland; Port Stanley to Cape Town, South Africa and from Cape Town back to Goa.

Point Nemo

INSV has successfully passed through Point Nemo.
Point Nemo is the Oceanic Pole of inaccessibility (extreme remoteness), with the closest human presence often being aboard the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting above.
Additionally, Point Nemo serves as a decommissioned spacecraft cemetery, where space agencies have intentionally directed defunct satellites and space stations to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and fall into the ocean, minimising the risk to human populations, the official observed.
The Spanish research vessel Hespérides in 1999 had become the first ship to sail to Point Nemo.
