Details of the Fleet Expansion
Sadhav Shipping is acquiring four 18-metre high-speed vessels constructed using advanced Fibre Reinforced Plastic composite materials. These specialized craft, built by A.H. Wadia Boat Builders, are designed to reach speeds exceeding 20 knots.
The order incorporates contractual options for two additional vessels, allowing the company to scale its fleet in alignment with future operational needs.

Strategic Rationale
- Execution of a recently secured contract for pilot and security boat operations at a major Indian port
- Modernization of the existing fleet to improve fuel efficiency and reduce long-term operational costs
- Enhanced manoeuvrability and rapid response capabilities for maritime security operations
- Strategic entry into the high-growth port services segment to diversify revenue streams
