She is based in Tanjung Uban, Riau Islands, and patrolled the Straits of Malacca.[4] Halasan seized two Vietnamese fishing vessels allegedly intruding in Indonesian waters around the Natuna Islands in April 2017,[5] another Vietnamese vessel in May 2018,[6] and a Malaysian fishing vessel in the Malacca Strait on 8 October 2018.[7] She took part in the 2019 International Maritime Defense Exhibition & Conference (IMDEX) Asia as one of the two Indonesian Navy vessels on display, alongside Tombak.[8]
