As per an official statement of ONGC, INS Kochi and INS Kolkata – two ships of the Indian Navy and one Tug Boat of Afcons, one OSV (Offshore Supply vessel) of ONGC, Coast Guard vessel ‘ICG Samarth’ have been pressed into service for the rescue service of Barge ‘Papaa-305’ that started drifting after its anchors gave way.
