Description

The barges have a designed capacity to carry 300 tonnes of oil in six equal size tanks.[1] Their steel cutting was started on 21 October 2009 and the keel laying of four barges was done on 30 October 2009. They have been certified and classed by Indian Register of shipping.[2] The barges will be in service of the Western Naval Command's bases at Karwar and Mumbai.
