Another naval ship heads for Seychelles

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: With sea pirates spreading their wings beyond the Gulf of Aden and activity being reported off Seychelles, the Indian Navy has dispatched a second ship to the region as it delivers a refurbished fast-attack craft to that country.

SCG Topaz that was in India for a refit is expected to reach Seychelles by Friday. The fast-attack craft is being towed by an Indian Navy Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) that would stay in the region for patrolling, Navy sources said here.

The OPV is expected to relieve INS Nirdeshak, the hydrographic survey vessel.
