The BNS Somudra Joy, commanded by Captain Md Shahriar Alam, will represent Bangladesh, with a total of 274 naval personnel onboard, including 33 officers and 58 trainee officers.

On its way to Pakistan, BNS Somudra Joy will also pay goodwill visits to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Malé, Maldives. These port calls aim to further strengthen diplomatic ties and foster friendships with friendly nations.
