On Wednesday, the Self -Duster was launched in Vasco in Goa, the second and the last indigenous vessels for checking the pollution (PCV) built by Goa Shipyard Ltd. (GSL) for the Indian Coast Guard (ICG).
The Ministry of Defense said that with 72% of native components, the project increases national skills, jobs and skills through the local industry and MSME involvement. The vessels that are equipped with advanced reaction devices increase the ICG response to oil leaks in an exclusive economic zone.

The vessel is designed to regenerate oil across the full viscosity, pump in contaminated water, analyze and separate pollutants and stored oil in reserved on -board tanks.

Chairman and CEO of GSL, Brajesh Kumar Upadhyay, emphasized the critical importance of this platform in the development of Indian naval readiness.
The ceremony was attended by higher officials from the Ministry of Defense, ICG and GSL.
The first PCV was launched on 29 August last year.
