Specialized for complex operations, often featuring heavy lifting capability (e.g., 160-tonne cranes).

in late 2024. Established in 2009, the company has rapidly grown to become a leading player in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and African offshore sectors, specializing in supporting oil and gas, as well as engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects.

One reason the "astro offshore" reputation remains high is their maintenance regimen. Unlike operators who defer dry dock to save quarterly costs, Astro adheres strictly to Classification Society rules (ABS, DNV, or IRS). Their vessels undergo rigorous underwater hull cleaning and propulsion system overhauls every 30 to 36 months. For charterers, this means less machinery breakdown downtime, which directly translates to better daily operational uptime.

Growth isn't just about numbers; it’s about capability. Our recent acquisition of five advanced DP2 vessels astro offshore

Astro is well-regarded for supporting offshore construction projects . Unlike standard supply vessels that simply shuttle cargo, Astro vessels often serve as "base stations" for project pipelaying and platform installation, commanding higher day rates than standard spot market charters.

Multi-functional ships equipped to position offshore drilling rigs, anchor large structures, and transport essential cargo.

The trajectory of Astro Offshore shifted dramatically in August 2024 when Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) acquired an 80% stake in the company for approximately USD 185 million. This acquisition was a cornerstone of APSEZ’s roadmap to becoming one of the world's largest marine operators. Backed by the industrial might of the Adani Group, Astro has accelerated its growth, doubling its fleet from 25 to 50 vessels in just 12 months.

The fleet also comprises platform supply vessels (PSVs), anchor handling tugs (AHTS), and specialized ballastable barges used for transporting massive offshore structures like platforms and pipelines. Core Services and Markets anchor handling tugs (AHTS)

: Several modern vessels utilize diesel-electric propulsion , improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions during operations.

The company has pivoted significantly toward offshore wind. In 2022, announced a strategic joint venture to build two新一代 Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) for European wind farms. These vessels feature motion-compensated gangways and 3D motion-capture docking systems.
