Revenue from marine business rose two times ₹641 crore during the quarter. “The strategic expansion of our multi-modal capabilities---from our growing network of 12 logistics parks and 3.1 million sq. ft. of warehouses to our expanding trucking fleet and international freight services---demonstrates how we are creating a seamless supply chain ecosystem. The ongoing expansion of our port capacities and our 127-vessel marine fleet across the MEASA 1 region, with foray into West Africa waters, position us as a genuine integrated player in the global supply chain,” stated Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director & CEO of the company in an official release. The Board of Directors of APSEZ at its meeting approved the amalgamation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Adani Harbour Services Limited with itself. AHSL provides consultancy services for port operations involving movement of vessels using tugs, berthing and deberthing of vessels using tugs, marine logistic support services, towage and trans-shipment within in-land waterways, in coastal waters and sea. “The proposed amalgamation will enable reduction in the number of corporate entities that require monitoring and other administrative work, thereby realizing operational synergies, increasing operational efficiency and integrating business functions,” the company stated in a regulatory filing.
