First defence ship by private company ICGS Vikram under 'Make in India' docks at New Mangalore Port
ICGS Vikram, the first in the class of seven new generation offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) contracted by the ministry of defence (MoD) in March 2015 under the government's initiative of 'Make in India', arrived at its base port - the New Mangalore Port, on Sunday.
The 98.2 metre long and 15 metre wide vessel has been designed and built indigenously by Larsen and Toubro. Subash Bhamre, junior defence minister, had commissioned the ship in Chennai on April 11.
ICGS Vikram has a 3.6 metre draught, 2,140 tonnes displacement and a range of 5,000 nautical miles. It can attain a sustained speed of up to 26 knots. The ship has been fitted with state-of-the art navigation and communication equipment, sensors and machineries. It also features a 30mm gun and a 12.7mm gun with fire control system giving an edge to its fighting efficiency.
The ship is designed to carry one twin-engine light helicopter and stage two twin engine heavy helicopters with night flying capabilities. It is also capable of carrying pollution response equipment to contain oil spills on the seas. It can stay at sea for 20 days without replenishment.
The ship with 14 officers and 88 men is commanded by commandant Raj Kamal Sinha, who was staff officer to the director-general, Coast Guard prior to his current posting. Normally, Coast Guard officers of the rank of deputy-inspector general (DIG) are handed command of a ship of the class of ICGS Vikram.

India approves acquisition of hovercraft for coastguard, army
New Delhi has approved acquisition requests for ‘air cushion vehicles’ (ACVs) for the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Army. The approval has been granted by the defence acquisition council (DAC), the country’s Ministry of Defence announced on 7 June. The DAC is chaired by India’s Minister of Defence, Nirmala Sitharaman.
“These vessels would offer great advantage over conventional boats [and] crafts with their ability to travel at very high speeds over shallow water, sand banks, mud flats, and swamps which are non-navigable by [the smaller vessels] due to draught restrictions [and] uncharted depths,” said the defence ministry in a statement.
“These craft offer capability enhancement for the services, and would prove useful for amphibious [and] riverine operations, especially where there is a requirement to move men and materiel from one island to another island, across riverine terrain, creeks et cetera,” it added.
The ministry has, however, not given details on how many vehicles will be acquired for each of the services under the approval, adding only that the vehicles should be acquired from an Indian shipyard.
The Indian Coast Guard currently operates a fleet of 18 Griffon 8000TD hovercraft, which have been built under a technical collaboration between India’s Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) and the United Kingdom’s Griffon Hoverwork. These vehicles were commissioned between 2000 and 2014.
The 21.3 m hovercraft displaces 25 tonnes at full load, and can accommodate a crew of 16 including two officers. The vehicle can attain a top speed of 50 kt on the water, a standard range of 400 n miles at 45 kt, and can operate up to Sea State 4.

ICGS Varuna built by Reliance Naval and Engineering Limited for the Indian Coast Guard is launched . It is the largest ship ever built for the coast guard reported.
Two days back, My daughter went for her first front gun firing sortie in INCG. She hit the target in first go itself. I taught her how to calculate Sight Picture for fixed sight firing to overcome wind, gravity drop, bullet jump and coriolis force to hit the target in first go.
Reliance Naval Launches Indian Coast Guard Training Ship
October 24, 2018 – A state-of-the-art Training Ship of 3,000 tonnes displacement was launched today at the shipyard of Reliance Naval & Engineering, located at the Port of Pipavav, Gujarat. The training ship, the largest ship ever built for the Indian Coast Guard, was launched at the auspices of Smt Urmila Singh, wife of Sh Rajendra Singh, the Director General of the Indian Coast Guard. The ship was named by Smt. Urmila Singh as ICGS Varuna, at a ceremony attended by a large gathering of Coast Guard officers and sailors, local dignitaries and Government officials. As per defence traditions, the slokas of Atharva Vedas were invoked during the launch ceremony.
Reliance Naval has the largest shipbuilding facility in India, encompassing one of the largest dry docks of the world, as well as a latest modular fabrication and engineering facility. The shipyard has an installed throughput of 140,000 tons of steel, equivalent to an annual
revenue of a minimum Rs. 4,000 crore. The shipyard presently has a meagre order book of Rs 4,000 crore, which does not justify the huge capital investment in building this most modern shipyard.
The shipyard was referred to by the erstwhile Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, as a ‘National Asset’, because the shipyard is capable of building any size of vessels in the world, including the next 70,000 ton aircraft carrier for India. India has five PSU shipyards and two large shipyards in the private sector. The total order book of the PSU shipyards is presently Rs 200,000 crore, whereas their combined turnover is just about Rs 8,000 crore per annum. In comparison, the two private sector shipyards have an order book of only Rs 6,000 crore.
The Training Ship has the primary role to impart sea training to cadets, including an all-round exposure to the lives of Coast Guard officers. The vessel is 105 meters long, with a capacity of accommodating 242 personnel. The vessel is powered by twin diesel engines of 10,400 KW and can move at a speed of 20 knots. The vessel is also equipped with weapons systems and is capable of policing maritime zones of the country as well as for search and rescue missions. The vessel’s capability also includes operating a twin-engine helicopter for undertaking maritime reconnaissance.
The new launch is a synergy of the latest cutting-edge technology and 40 years of operational experience of the Indian Coast Guard, in terms of architecture, ergonomics, training requirements and maintenance envelopes. The vessel is a first-of-its-kind Next Generation
Training Ship for Trainee Officers, and has been entirely designed by the Design Bureau of Reliance Naval & Engineering. Confirmatory model tests for the design were performed at Vienna Test Basin, Austria and vetted by internationally acclaimed experts.
The vessel will join the Coast Guard fleet in May 2019 after extensive tests and trials.
Presently, Reliance Naval is constructing 20 ships of three categories for the defence services of the country—these are five Naval Offshore Patrol Vessels and 14 Fast Patrol vessels, apart from the Training Ship launched today. Of these, six vessels are expected to delivered in 2019.
