GSL lays keel for third CGOPV
Goa Shipyard (GSL) has begun construction of the third Coast Guard Offshore Patrol Vessel (CGOPV) for the Indian Coast Guard, with the keel laid on 1 August 2018.
GSL signed a contract with the Indian Ministry of Defence in August 2016 to build five CGOPVs for the coast guard. Vessels under the 05 CG OPV project are scheduled to be delivered January 2020 through to June 2021.
The vessels will be fitted with modern and technologically advanced machinery and computerised controls systems. The 2400t vessels will be equipped with quick response boats for rescue and anti-piracy missions.
