The Somali government indeed marks a significant milestone with the arrival of the Turkish research vessel Oruc Reis today.
Its arrival on Friday is huge news as the vessel is capable of performing the first-ever 3D seismic data survey within Somalia’s maritime territory.
This groundbreaking project will explore the underwater geological structures and potential hydrocarbon reserves, paving the way for new energy resources.
The collaboration aligns with the deepening ties between Somalia and Turkey, as well as Somalia’s ambitions to boost its economy and self-reliance in the energy sector.
This initiative represents a vital step in the country’s exploration of its natural resources.
