PHUKET: -- The Royal Thai Navy concluded its week-long crisis-response exercises off Cape Panwa on Tuesday (July 5), bringing to an end a spectacle of live simulations that included terrorists taking hostages on a cruise ship and recovering people after a passenger plane ditched into the sea.

The annual drills, this titled Crisis Management Exercise 2016 (C-MEX 16), were led by the Third Area Thailand Maritime Enforcement Coordinating Centre (MECC), operating under the command of the Royal Thai Navy.

Among the exercises were regular drills of sea-rescue techniques and boarding, commandeering and searching illegal fishing vessels.
