Westoceanic Services

What Westoceanic Services does

Westoceanic Services Pvt. Ltd. is a Mumbai-headquartered oil and gas services firm founded in 2012 that supplies integrated crew management, ship chartering, logistics, offshore catering and base/warehouse management to drilling and maritime operators. Its core offerings center on placing qualified seafarers, drilling crews and catering staff onto rigs, chemical and crude oil tankers, containers, carriers and offshore vessels (OSV, PSV, AHTS, CTV), alongside voyage, bareboat and time-charter vessel arrangements and offshore supply-base operations. The business operates through enterprise field sales with a quote-based contract model, supported by a registered office in Mumbai, a head office in Vile Parle East, and a regional branch (WESTOCEANIC SERVICES LLC) in Sharjah, UAE.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform disclosed; its differentiation rests on a deployable roster of 1,000+ trained personnel, decades of leadership experience in oil and gas (founder tenure exceeding 50 years, directors with 23+ and 42+ years respectively), ISO 9001:2015 certification, and a marketed zero Lost Time Injury safety record. Revenue is generated across five professional-services streams (Crew Management & Staffing, Ship Chartering, Logistics & Supply Chain, Offshore Catering & Hospitality, Base & Warehouse Management), with named enterprise clients including Dubai Petroleum, VAA and Sundrilling. Following a 2022 acquisition by private investors with stated multi-horizon expansion plans, the company has been broadening its service surface and adding an e-commerce catalogue of industrial robotics products, signaling exploratory diversification beyond core oil and gas services.
