The stage is set in Trincomalee as the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) prepares to launch Trincomalee Naval Exercise – 2025 (TRINEX – 25), a dynamic naval exercise unfolding from 22 to 27 Jul 25 along the island’s eastern coast.
Aimed at boosting interoperability and combat readiness, TRINEX – 25 will bring together SLN and Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) in a joint operation of maritime strength and precision. The exercise is crafted to ensure SLN ships are prepared to meet operational challenges in the dedicated maritime environment and reach the expected standards of shipborne operations when participating in future local/ international fleet exercises.
Adding muscle to the exercise, SLN fleet units, the Special Boat Squadron (SBS), SLN Marines, and SLAF air assets will take part in this high-tempo exercise, making Trincomalee the epicenter of Sri Lanka’s maritime action this July.
