She was transferred to the [[Maldivian Coast Guard]] on 16 April 2006 as MCGS ''Huravee''. As part of the transfer, technical and material assistance was provided by the Indian Navy for a period of three years. The Indian Navy also stationed a team of personnel for a preliminary period and on-the-job training of the Maldivian crew.<ref name="br-trinkat" /> ''Huravee'' was successfully refitted at [[Visakhapatnam]] Naval Dockyard in November 2018. The refit was an initiative by Indian Navy to boost its diplomatic outreach to friendly foreign navies in the Indian Ocean Region.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indian Navy completes refit of Maldivian Coast Guard Ship Huravee |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/news/india/indian-navy-completes-refit-of-maldivian-coast-guard-ship-huravee/articleshow/66637595.cms |website=Bangalore Mirror |date=15 November 2018 |access-date=16 May 2021 }}</ref>
