GRSE Completes Contractor Sea Trials of Two Warships Simultaneously

Date:

Kolkata : In keeping with its commitment towards delivering top quality warships to the Navy and Coast Guard, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) Ltd, successfully completed the Contractor Sea Trials or CSTs of two platforms on March 3, 2025. Both of these are being built by GRSE for the Navy.

The warships that completed their CSTs simultaneously are the Himgiri (Yard 3022) and Androth (Yard 3035). While the Himgiri is an Advanced Frigate, first in a series of three such platforms being built by GRSE under the Navy’s Project 17A, Androth is second in a series of eight Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Crafts (ASW SWCs) under construction at the shipyard.

A CST is considered the final stage of construction, when a vessel’s seaworthiness is tested. Several factors, such as speed, manoeuvrability, and the performance of on-board equipment are checked. In this case, senior officials from GRSE, Indian Navy and classification societies were on board both warships to monitor their performances.

The CST for INS Arnala (Yard 3029) – first of the ASW SWCs – was also successfully completed recently and she will be delivered to the Navy shortly.
