Sadhav Shipping Ltd
A 20+ vessel offshore maritime services company serving oil & gas exploration logistics — operating in a sector that gets almost no retail investor mindshare in India.
Company Description
Sadhav Shipping owns and operates a fleet of 20+ vessels — tanker barges, tugs, and offshore support vessels — providing offshore logistics for oil & gas exploration and production, coastal logistics, port services, and ship management for other owners, including oil-spill response capabilities.
The company has operated under three names since 1996: originally Homa Offshore & Shipping Company Private Limited, renamed Sadhav Shipping Company Private Limited in 1999, and converted to its current public form later — adding friction for anyone trying to trace its full operating history in standard databases.
Offshore shipping and marine logistics is a genuinely obscure sector for Indian retail investors, who overwhelmingly cluster around IT, banking and consumer names. The 20+ vessel fleet represents a substantial physical asset base that receives none of the attention similar assets in more visible sectors would attract.
We reached out to Sadhav Shipping management with four plain questions. When they respond, answers will appear here in full, unedited, clearly labelled as management's own words.

Worth watching: Promoter holding decreased noticeably in the most recent quarter, and ROE at 13.9% is relatively modest for an asset-intensive business. Both worth checking directly in the company's own disclosures for full context.

Why almost nobody's looked at this yet
- 01Offshore shipping gets almost no retail investor attention in India. The sector is real, essential, and profitable — but invisible to retail investors drawn to tech, banking and consumer names.
- 02Three corporate names across its history. Homa Offshore (1996) → Sadhav Shipping Company (1999) → current public form. A fragmented identity makes it hard to trace in screener databases.
- 03A 20+ vessel fleet is a substantial asset base with no coverage. If a consumer-goods company held assets of equivalent value, it would attract significant analyst attention. Marine assets don't.
