'''ICGS ''Samarth''''' is the [[Indian Coast Guard]]'s latest and largest Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV). ''Samarth'' is first in the series of six 105m offshore patrol vessels and has been built by Goa Shipyard Limited. The vessel was commissioned to coast guard service on 10 November 2015 by [[Minister of Defence (India)|Defence Minister]] [[Manohar Parrikar]]. ''Samarth'' is based in [[Goa]] and will be extensively used for Exclusive Economic Zone and other duties as it is set to be exploited extensively on the Western Seaboard. The vessel will be under the command of a Deputy Inspector-General.<ref>{{cite news|title=ICGS Samarth commissioned; to boost Goa coastal security |url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/icgs-samarth-commissioned-to-boost-goa-coastal-security-115111001472_1.html|accessdate=10 November 2015|newspaper=[[Business Standard]]|date=10 November 2015}}</ref>

In 2018 ICGS ''Samarth'' and ICGS ''Shoor'', along with Indian Navy vessels, took part in an operation to seize a [[Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum (II)|UAE princess]], with controversy as to whether this was a hostage rescue or, in cooperation with the [[UAE]], thwarting an attempt by the princess to escape the UAE.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/300318/kidnapped-dubai-princess-returns-safely-to-uae-with-indias-help.html|title='Kidnapped' Dubai Princess returns safely to UAE with India's help|first=Gargi|last=Chaudhry|date=30 March 2018|website=Deccan Chronicle}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/former-spy-wants-fbi-to-investigate-raid-to-snatch-dubai-princess/19302176|title=Former spy wants FBI to investigate raid to snatch Dubai princess Sheikha Latifa|date=10 April 2018|website=mid-day}}</ref>
