Template:Infobox ship Couach fast interceptor boats are patrol boats. Built by the French shipyard Chantier Naval Couach for the Indian Navy.

Background[edit | edit source]

On 27 March 2010, in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the Indian Navy placed an order worth around 600m rupees (US$13.2m) for 15 boats with Chantier Naval Couach, to improve their coastal security net.[1]

Vessel[edit | edit source]

The Couach fast interceptor boats are equipped with twin 800 hp (597 kW) MAN engines driving through a complete Twin Disc propulsion system consisting of MGX-5114A QuickShift transmissions, ASD11 Arneson Surface Drives with BCS trim tabs and EC300 electronic controls, and can achieve a top speed of 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph).

Deployment[edit | edit source]

All 15 interceptor boats were inducted by the Indian Navy by the end of 2012.[2] These boats will be utilised by various Indian Navy units to patrol and intercept suspicious vessels closed to vital domestic assets.
