Sadhav Shipping Places Order for Four High-Speed Composite Pilot and Security Boats
Mumbai, June 01, 2026: Sadhav Shipping Limited, an integrated maritime services company, has announced the placement of a firm order for four new FRP composite pilot and security boats. The vessels will be built by A.H. Wadia Boat Builders, marking a significant milestone in Sadhav Shipping's expansion into the port services segment, following the company’s recent contract win for pilot and security boat operations at a major Indian port.The new boats are designed for critical pilotage and maritime security operations. Each vessel will measure 18 metres in length and is engineered to deliver speeds exceeding 20 knots. These specifications are intended to ensure rapid response, superior manoeuvrability, and reliable performance within demanding port environments.
Built using advanced Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composite materials, the new fleet will benefit from enhanced operational characteristics. These materials provide a stronger strength-to-weight ratio, coupled with lower maintenance requirements, improved fuel efficiency, and a longer operational lifespan compared to traditional steel or aluminium alternatives.
The agreement also includes contractual options for two additional vessels. This provision gives Sadhav Shipping the flexibility to scale its fleet in response to future operational needs and emerging business opportunities.
Speaking on the development, Mr. Vedant K. Choudhury, CEO of Sadhav Shipping Limited, stated that the order marks an important expansion milestone. He highlighted that the deployment of these modern, high-speed composite vessels will bolster the company’s capacity to provide advanced pilotage and security services, thereby enhancing its competitiveness in the growing market.
“Our objective is to build a meaningful presence in the port services business by investing in efficient, purpose-built assets,” Mr. Choudhury added. “The option for additional vessels provides us with the flexibility to scale operations quickly, enabling us to capitalize on new opportunities and strengthen our market position as demand continues to evolve.”
