Sector overview

Vessels, shipyards, ports and bulk terminals, in India and the Gulf

The marine practice values ships and offshore support vessels, shipyards and their plant, and port and terminal infrastructure. The largest mandate is the pan-India valuation of Bharati Defence and Infrastructure, including its vessels, for Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company (₹4,428 crore book value). Fleet work includes Shipping Corporation of India, Essar Shipping’s vessels at Jebel Ali in the UAE, an oil tanker for the Arya Group at Duqm in Oman, and offshore support vessels for Global Offshore Services, valued for State Bank of India on both an asset and an enterprise basis.

Shore-side assignments cover Rewas and Dighi ports in Maharashtra, cost validation of the Essar bulk terminal at Salaya for a PNB-led consortium, and the Pinky and Tebma shipyards, both valued under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.

Industry challenges

What lenders ask us to test in this sector

Charter-rate cycles and vessel-age profiles

Vessel values move with the charter market and fall with age. We value against current sale-and-purchase evidence for the vessel class and age band, and state the assumptions on scrap and residual value separately.

Terminal throughput and concession terms

Terminal cash flows depend on cargo commitments and concession terms as much as on capacity. We review throughput history, take-or-pay contracts and the concession period before accepting the revenue case.

Dry-dock and survey status

A vessel out of class is a vessel that cannot trade. We check classification, survey and dry-docking status and the cost of overdue special surveys before issuing a value.

Cross-border security and registry issues

Vessels flagged or mortgaged abroad raise enforcement and registry questions for Indian lenders. We report the registry, mortgage and jurisdiction position alongside the value.
