The dry docking and refit of this ship marks a significant milestone in the revival of the shipyard, after SEL took over its management control earlier this year through NCLT, the company said.

"The resumption of operations at our shipyard marks the successful culmination of our efforts to rejuvenate this strategic facility. Delivering our first Indian Coast Guard vessel underscores our commitment to enhancing India's ship repair and shipbuilding capabilities," said Vivek Merchant, Director of Swan's Shipyard.

The company's aim is to establish its shipyard as a leading maritime hub for the manufacturing of defence and commercial ships, and for the heavy engineering sector, on a global scale, he added.
