Built In India. Proven At Sea.

Programmes, project contributions and milestones from Sargam Cathodic Protection — cathodic protection, marine growth prevention and shaft electrical protection systems engineered and manufactured in India.

Programme Milestone

ICGS Ajit Joins The Adamya-Class Programme

ICGS Ajit (Yard 1277) is the sixth Fast Patrol Vessel of the Adamya class, indigenously designed and built by Goa Shipyard Limited for the Indian Coast Guard.

Sargam supplied indigenously developed and manufactured ICCP and ICAF systems for all eight vessels of this class — impressed current cathodic protection for the hull and impressed current anti-fouling for the seawater systems, delivered against the yard's build programme.

Supplying a full class rather than a single hull means design, manufacture and commissioning support are repeatable: the same engineering standard is carried from the first vessel to the last. It is a contribution Sargam is proud of, and one that sits squarely within self-reliance in Indian defence shipbuilding and maritime technology.

Project

Protection For Dredge Godavari

Dredge Godavari (SH-37), built by Cochin Shipyard Limited for Dredging Corporation of India, is the largest trailing suction hopper dredger constructed in India.

Sargam supplied the ICCP system and aluminium anodes for the vessel. Hanging anodes provided temporary protection during outfitting, covering the period when the hull is already immersed but the permanent system is not yet energised.

Programmes, Projects And Presence

Global Presence

A debut at IMDEX Asia 2025

IMDEX Asia 2025 · Singapore · 6–8 May 2025

Sargam participated as a debuting exhibitor at IMDEX Asia 2025 in Singapore, bringing Indian cathodic protection and low-signature capability to an international naval and maritime defence platform.

Programme Milestone

MGPS for twelve aluminium-hull Fast Patrol Boats

Sargam won the order to supply marine growth prevention systems for twelve aluminium-hull Fast Patrol Boats built by L&T Shipbuilding, with construction split between Kattupalli and Vietnam.

Indigenous Capability

Low-signature protection for frontline platforms

Sargam's documented naval capability includes Low Signature ICCP and Active Shaft Grounding systems for frontline platforms — engineered in India and supported through the vessel's service life.

Partnership

Local support, international system continuity

Sargam is authorised by Cuproban Systems (Singapore) to promote and supply Cuproban MGPS in India, and to support installation, commissioning, inspection, maintenance, repairs, troubleshooting and genuine spares.

Project

A 20 A ICCP system for an L&T-built boat in Vietnam

Sargam supplied a 20 A impressed current cathodic protection system for an L&T-built boat under construction in Vietnam, sized to the hull's protected surface area and operating profile.

Project

Anodes and cofferdams dispatched for MDL Yard 16101

For the MDL Yard 16101 / CGP TS project, Sargam dispatched platinised-titanium anodes and cofferdams — the hull-side hardware that carries and seals the impressed current circuit.

Capability

Controlled ICCP for aluminium-hull vessels

Alongside the MGPS programme, Sargam has supplied controlled ICCP solutions for aluminium-hull vessels, where protection has to be held within a narrow band rather than simply driven hard.

Field Engineering

When 3.2 A Is Not A Fault

On a 50 m vessel, the ICCP controller was running at about 3.2 A and the reading was queried as high. Measured against the hull, the picture was straightforward: system OFF potential was about 400–420 mV (Zn), and with the system ON the hull sat at about 250 mV (Zn).

The current was doing exactly what it needed to do to bring the hull into protection. Output on its own says very little — it has to be read together with hull potential before any judgement is made about the system.
