Comments: Ordered from Anderson Marine Pvt Ltd, Goa in September 1990 to a P-2000 design by Amgram and is similar to the British Archer Class. These vessels feature a GRP (Glassfiber Reinforced Polyester) hull and superstructure. Half the batch was built at Goa and the other half at Cochin. The boats are based at Mandapam, Mangalore, Visakhapatnam, Okha and Goa and one vessel is on lease to Mauritius. These vessels, by virtue of their size and speed, can be rapidly deployed off the coast especially for shallow water operations. They are useful in situations requiring quick response such as search & rescue, casualty evacuation from ships, emergency operations and sealing of river mouths on receipt of intelligence reports. They are used for patrolling the coast, interdiction of smugglers & infiltrators and search & rescue operations.
