In Kattupalli, near Chennai, the second of 4 survey vessels built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) Ltd was debuted. Last December 5, the first ship, the INS Sandhayak, was initiated in Kolkata. Sarbani Dasgupta, the wife of Vice-Admiral Biswajit Dasgupta, the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command, launched the ship.
The name INS Nirdeshak comes from a previous survey ship of the same name that was built by the GRSE in 1983 as well as delivered to the Indian Navy until it was decommissioned in 2014. The GRSE’s most recent series of large survey vessels are far more advanced than the company’s previous ships in the naval fleet, according to a statement.
Kathe ships, which are 110 meters long and 16 meters wide and have a dispersion of nearly 3,400 metric tonnes, can reach a top speed of 18 knots and have a range of 6,500 km.
The capabilities of these survey ships were highlighted by Commodore PR Hari (Retd), chairman and chief executive of GRSE. Full-scale coastal and deep-water hydrographic surveys of port and harbor strategies, as well as the perseverance of river systems and paths, are all possible with these survey ships. They can also conduct maritime boundary surveys and collect oceanic and spatial data for defense purposes.
