Rolls-Royce has won a contract from India's Cochin Shipyard to supply 60 water-jets for a new fleet of 20 fast patrol vessels for the Indian Coast Guard.
The contract will involve the supply of three Rolls-Royce Kamewa 71S3np water-jets for each vessel, as well as associated equipment including a joystick control system for manoeuvring the vessels.
The 50-metre long vessels, which are currently under construction, will reach speeds of 33 knots and will operate in Indian coastal waters and around island territories. Their roles will include coastal patrolling, anti-smuggling missions, fisheries protection, as well as search and rescue duties.
