The Economic Times reported on May 13 that Adani Ports is accelerating its expansion into the European market and broadening its business scope into more complex domains. Adani Ports & Special Economic Zones Limited (APSEZ) is entering the European offshore and underwater engineering market through its subsidiary AstroOffshore, in collaboration with the U.S. company Oceaneering International. This move marks a strategic shift from traditional port operations toward offshore and underwater services—areas representing some of the most technologically advanced segments within the global maritime industry. Adani aims to rapidly enhance its capabilities in complex offshore operations by combining its high-specification fleet with Oceaneering International’s expertise in deepwater engineering and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), thereby accelerating its expansion into the European marine market. The latest addition to Astro Offshore’s fleet, the DP2 multi-purpose support vessel Astro Atlas, is capable of operating in waters exceeding 3,000 meters deep and is equipped with a 150-ton active heave-compensated underwater crane and moon pool facilities—making it a critical asset for APSEZ’s entry into ultra-deepwater offshore markets.
