A successor to INSV Mhadei, which has sailed over 1,15,000 nautical miles, INSV Tarini is named after the Tara Tarini Temple in Odisha. The word ‘Tarini’, in Sankrit, means both boat and saviour. Tara-Tarini was the traditional patron deity for sailors and merchants of ancient Odisha, who is worshipped for safety and success at sea.

INSV Tarini Crew- Creating History
With its induction, INSV Tarini also set a record, breaking several stereotypes along the way. It became the platform for the First Indian All Women Circumnavigation of the Globe Expedition of the Indian Navy, named ‘ Navika Sagar Parikrama’, when a group of six women officers of the Indian Navy, led by Lieutenant Commander Vartika Joshi, sailed off on 10th September 2017 from Goa to circumnavigate the globe and returned on 21st May 2018 after completing the voyage. The 254-day expedition underlined the national policy of empowering women to realise their full potential and help change societal attitudes and mindsets towards women.
The crew fulfilled all the criteria of circumnavigation, such as: crossing the Equator twice, crossing all Longitudes and the three great capes, Cape Leeuwin, Cape Horn and Cape of Good Hope, covering more than 21,600 nautical miles.
