Marine Services
Ocean Sparkle Ltd., Astro Offshore and The Adani Harbour International DMCC forms the marine division of APSEZ. With a diverse fleet of 115 third-party marine vessels, we are present across major ports and other strategic locations in India. With the acquisition of Astro Offshore, we have expanded our footprint beyond India, reinforcing our ambition to become a leading global player in the marine industry
Furthermore, Adani Harbour Services Ltd. operates 46 vessels across APSEZ ports.
Also with a fleet of 28 dredgers, APSEZ is the largest player in the capital dredging sector.
Tugs
Our tugs serve both captive and third-party deployments. As the leading third-party marine service provider in India, we operate under long-term take-or-pay contracts. We boast of one of the youngest fleets in the industry. We prioritise fleet modernisation, upgrading to advanced tugs to meet industry demands. Our robust fleet ensures operational agility, seamless redeployment, and substitution, minimising service disruptions and optimising revenue
Offshore Support Vessels
Acquisition of a controlling stake in Astro Offshore last year added a significant number of offshore support vessels to our fleet, including Anchor Handling Tugs (AHTs), flat top barges, Multipurpose Support Vessels (MPSVs), and workboats. This acquisition, with an average fleet age of 11 years, has strengthened APSEZ’s presence in the Middle East, Far East Asia, and Africa, and added Tier-1 clients in the EPC, oil & gas, and renewables sectors. Astro’s medium to long-term charters with Tier-1 customers ensure high fleet utilisation and resilience against market volatility, driving sustained growth and stability.
