Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) has announced the relocation of its Kakinada Site Office to a new and improved facility.
This move forms part of IRS ongoing efforts to enhance its presence in the region and offer improved services to the local maritime community.
The inauguration ceremony of the new office was marked by the presence of key stakeholders from across the maritime and oil & gas sectors. The event witnessed participation from private vessel owners, government authorities, private shipyards, representatives from the Defence sector, and other valued partners.
The enhanced facility is positioned to cater to the needs of the significant offshore industry operating along the East Coast of India, particularly in and around the KG basin, which is home to extensive oil & gas exploration and production activity.

The upgraded facility is better equipped to serve our clients with enhanced efficiency and responsiveness, aligning with our long-term vision for service excellence and industry collaboration.”
