History
[edit | edit source]The vessel was built in India by Goa Shipyard Ltd. (GSL) and was commissioned in March 2010 in the Indian Coast Guard by then defence minister A K Antony.[6][7] ICGS Vishwast is 90 metres (295 ft 3 in) in length and displaces 2,400 tons. In 2015, the ship was deployed to Malaysia and Myanmar.[8][9] In 2016, the ship was deployed to visit Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand - where it was involved in an exercise with the navies of the respective countries.[10] Vishwast is capable of firefighting, search and patrol, pollution control (due to oil spillage) and maritime surveillance.[7]
