I think ICG should provide more comfort for its personnels in operating vessels. In some cases, especially small ICG patrol boats, there is not even working re-cycling water machines or guns with no bullets.

And ICG ships should start having small range missiles, especially long length and big tonnage ones. And Dhruv helicopters. And midget subs. As one pointed before, they should match the firepower of our neighbours.

Commissioning of Offshore Patrol Vessel ICGS ‘sarathi’

Indian Coast Guard Ship ‘Sarathi’, third ship in the series of six Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) was commissioned by the Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh today at Goa, in the presence of Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar, Director General Indian Coast Guard Shri Rajendra Singh, Chairman & Managing Director Goa Shipyard Ltd (GSL) Rear Admiral (Retd) Shekhar Mital and other senior dignitaries of the Central and State Government. ‘Sarathi’ meaning charioteer is a projection of Indian Coast Guard’s will and commitment ‘To serve and protect’ the maritime interest of the nation.
This 105 meters OPV has been designed and built indigenously by GSL and is fitted with most advanced state-of-the-art navigation and communication equipment, sensors and machineries. The features include 30 mm CRN 91 Naval Gun, Integrated Bridge System (IBS), Integrated Machinery Control System (IMCS), Power Management System (PMS) and High Power External Fire Fighting System. The ship is designed to carry one twin engine Light Helicopter and five high speed boats including two Quick Reaction Inflatable Boats for swift boarding operations, search and rescue, law enforcement and maritime patrol. The ship is also capable of carrying pollution response equipment to contain oil spill at sea.
The ship draws 2500 tons (GRT) propelled by two 9100 KW diesel engines to attain a maximum speed of 26 knots and have an endurance of 6500 NM at economical speed. The sustenance and reach coupled with the latest and modern equipment and systems, provides her the capability to perform the role of a command platform and accomplish all Coast Guard charter of duties.
The ship on joining Coast Guard Fleet will be based at Kochi and will form part of the Naval Training Squadron. In addition, the ship will be deployed for the EEZ surveillance and other duties to safeguard the maritime interests of India. Presently, Indian Coast Guard has a fleet of 123 ships/boats, further 68 ships/boats are at various stages of construction at different shipyards. With the commissioning of this vessel and other assets, the Indian Coast Guard will emerge as a stronger and potent force to address the emerging security challenges in maritime zone of India.
ICGS ‘Sarathi’ will be commanded by Commandant Atul Joshi and manned by 14 officers & 98 men. The ship will be under the administrative and operational control of the Commander, Coast Guard Region (West).
The commissioning of ICGS ‘Sarathi’ will enhance the Indian Coast Guard’s operational capability to discharge the multifarious maritime tasks. With the increased threat from sea borne terrorism, the induction of a sophisticated and state-of-the-art OPV will give a fillip to the maritime security of our vast coastline and in particular the maritime State of Kerala and island territories of Lakshadweep and Minicoy.

Nice pics. My home town is the HQ for India's eastern Naval Forces.
Lovely to see these in metal.
With ever increasing threats from rogue neighbors, Coast guards role has just increased.
Great thread

Most of them today are Made in India. The private sector is involved in the building. Few of them started off with knock down kits, like ABG Shipyards and now build them. These are like a stepping stone for them, before getting into IN ships.

Self-designed and built, Indian Coast Guard ship Sarathi joined the fleet today. The 123rd vessel of the force!

@Ankit Kumar 002 excellent thread bro, hopefully we can keep it updated with all of the latest news on the ICG.

In regards to the poll, I think they are doing an increidble job in building up their strength post 26/11 and are well poised to take over as the nodal coastal security agency from the IN by 2025 (as is the current plan). Particuraly strong is the ICG's surface ship inductions (literally a weekly affair now) and their C4I systems. The area where they are most lacking is their aviation wing, it is far far too small and, other than the Do-228s, is made up of pretty old machines. I do think this area will be tackled in the next 5 years though (they are working with the DRDO to create a MPA based on the C-295, have ordered the Mk.3 ALH and are to induct the H225M/EC725).
