Larsen and Toubro (L&T) has commissioned ‘Offshore Patrol Vessel ICGS Vikram’ into the Indian Coast Guard on April 11, 2018.
The vessel is the ‘First of Class’ of seven new generation Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) contracted by Ministry of Defence (MoD) to L&T in March 2015, under government’s initiative of ‘Make in India’.
After its keel was laid in March 2016, ICGS Vikram has been commissioned in a record period of 25 months, including build time, harbor trials and sea trials. The commissioning of the indigenously designed and built OPV is a befitting curtain-raiser to the ‘Make in India’ theme of DEFEXPO 2018 that opens in Chennai on April 11, 2018.
ICGS Vikram class OPVs are long-range surface ships, equipped to handle helicopter operations and capable of operating in Indian maritime zones including island territories. The role of the OPV is to conduct coastal and offshore patrolling, policing maritime zones, control & surveillance, anti-smuggling & anti-piracy operations with limited wartime roles.
