B.A.P. Union returns to Callao after completing an instruction mission abroad
The Sailing Training Ship B.A.P. Union, a Unit of the Peruvian Navy, arrived at the Callao Naval Base after a six-month sailing voyage in the North Atlantic, the United States of America and Panama.
During his journey, the B.A.P. Union arrived at ten ports in nine countries, in addition to the port of Matarani in Arequipa, where its crew participated in protocol and cultural activities. Likewise, it received government delegations, diplomatic authorities, local population and members of the Peruvian community abroad, contributing to strengthening the presence of Peru and the Navy in international waters and reinforcing the ties of friendship and cooperation with the nations visited.
The B.A.P. Union set sail on May 9 with a crew of 255 crew members, including 71 cadets from the Peruvian Naval School, who, during the voyage, carried out maneuvering, navigation and leadership practices on board, in compliance with their professional training process.
Prior to entering the port of Callao, our Itinerant Embassy was received by the nautical community, made up of sailboats, yachts, jet skis and small boats, who accompanied it until it entered the dock.
With its return to the country, the B.A.P. Union successfully completes the 2025 Foreign Instruction Trip, reaffirming its status as itinerant ambassador of the Peruvian Navy and the Peruvian State before the international maritime community.
