The ship is propelled by four Cummins engines as well as two bow thrusters. The ship has two survey motor boats. Her equipment outfit for hydrographic survey includes Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for closer investigations, advanced Electronic Positioning System, Multibeam Swath Sounding Systems and Sub Bottom Profiler. She also has a full range of the latest oceanographic and land survey equipment.
Accommodation for six officers and 44 sailors incorporates advanced ergonomic design and ensures crew comfort and space management. The ship has enhanced Indian Navy's already existing world class sea/ocean survey capability.

Rusted... umm.. can you give any specific example???
Few are rusting because of unavailability of spare & other repair related issues, etc. But none are anchored at the base in working condition and RUSTING!!!
Indigenously made, looks good.
Hey guys, I just want to remind you that the word catamaran was derived from Tamil word kattumaran. The design of ships by two hulls was first invented by Indians. It wasn;t until Britishers arrived in India that they realised that ships can indeed be built on two or even three hulls.
US is already building trimaran (three hulls) combat ships. I think India should experiment with catamaran and trimaran combat ships, which have some advantages over monohull ships. Thanks.
Man that ship looks fantastic,and all the pessimist who always keep doubting their country and their abilities,its right their to see for themselves.our defense industry is as good or even better than others.
... Alcock Ashdown Survey Catamarans are a series of six 500 ton Aluminium hulled Hydrographic Survey Catamarans being built by Alcock Ashdown (Gujarat) Ltd at its Bhavnagar shipyard for the Indian Navy. The ships are based on Sea Transport Solutions design part of Austal group, Australia... good we build on this... congrats...
good step but make another ship like missile boat who also have in paki buy from china
Congrats to the Indian Navy. It's a great looking ship. They must be proud of what they have built. This goes to show that India has more credibility despite of it being a third world country.
