ICGV Týr is an Ægir-class offshore patrol vessel and the former flagship of the Icelandic Coast Guard.

The ship conducted patrols, search and rescue, fishery inspections, general law enforcement and counter-terrorism operations in the Icelandic exclusive economic zone and the waters of the surrounding territories, such as Greenland and Jan Mayen.

The vessel is powered by two MAN 8L 40/54 diesel engines turning two shafts with Kamewa controllable pitch propellers rated at 9,800 kilowatts (13,200 hp).

[1][2] Týr primarily conducts patrols, search and rescue, fishery inspections, general law enforcement and counter-terrorism operations in the Icelandic exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

[1] The Third Cod War began after Iceland extended its EEZ to 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) in November 1975.

[4] After a quiet period around Christmas, on 28 December 1975, Týr rammed HMS Andromeda, which was escorting two fishing trawlers at the time.

On 6 February 1976 Týr collided with HMS Juno after the British frigate intervened while the Icelandic patrol vessel was attempting to cut the nets of the trawler Ross Altair.

In 2006, Týr underwent a refit in Poland that improved the bridge and accommodations along with the installation of in-flight refuelling equipment for the helicopters.

In December 2014 Týr played a major part in the rescue of 408 migrants 165 nautical miles (306 km; 190 mi) off the coast of Malta in a drifting cargo vessel.

[10] of 359 Syrian refugees were rescued in the eastern Mediterranean Sea in January 2015 after they had been abandoned by the crew of the cargo ship Ezadeen off the Italian coast.
