ORV Sagar Nidhi is an ice class multi disciplinary vessel operated by the National Institute of Ocean Technology, India. It was constructed at Fincantieri, Italy. The 104 metre long vessel has fully automatic diesel-electric propulsion equipped with Dynamic Positioning System (Azimuth thrusters) and with a winch to hoist 60 tonnes from a depth of 6,000 metres.

The vessel is capable of carrying out Geo-scientific, Meteorological and Oceanographic research. The vessel is designed with blue-water capability with range of up to 10,000 nautical miles for voyages lasting up to 45 days. She is expected to support research in the Indian Ocean and Antarctic.

ORV Sagar Nidhi will be utilized for Deep Sea Mining, launching of ROV’s, AUV’s, manned/unmanned submersibles and exploration of Gas Hydrates.
