Coast Guard inducts fast patrol boat of Goa Shipyard
Panaji: The Indian Coast Guard on Thursday inducted ICGS Adamya, the first of eight fast patrol vessels (FPVs) from Goa Shipyard. ICGS Adamya is the first ship in its class to feature controllable pitch propellers and indigenously developed gearboxes for superior manoeuvrability, operational flexibility, and enhanced performance. The ICGS Adamya is equipped with a 30mm CRN-91 gun, two 12.7mm stabilised remote-control guns with fire control systems, and other advanced systems. These features will allow the vessel to operate with increased precision, efficiency, and responsiveness across India's extensive maritime domain. These fast patrol vessels will act as force multipliers in the Indian Coast Guard's operational fleet, enabling swift response for law enforcement, surveillance, rescue, and the protection of India's Exclusive Economic Zone. In 2022, the Indian Coast Guard placed an order for eight fast patrol vessels as part of a Rs 473 crore ($62.1 million) contract. GSL launched the first two FPVs - Adamya and Akshar - in Oct 2024, while the fifth one - Achal - was launched this month.
