Indian conglomerate Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has secured a 10-year contract to provide marine services for Argentina’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) project. The agreement marks the group’s entry into the South American market and further expands its presence in the international maritime services sector.
The contract was awarded to APSEZ subsidiary Adani Harbour International as part of a consortium with Argentina’s Meridian Group following a global competitive tender organized by Southern Energy SA (SESA). The project will be executed through Meridian Transportes Marítimos, a joint venture owned 51:49 by Adani Harbour International and Meridian Group.
Under the agreement, the consortium will provide a broad range of marine services, including LNG tanker towage, offshore platform logistics and supply operations, as well as crew transfer services. Operations will be supported by four high-specification tugboats, one anchor handling supply vessel, and one crew transfer vessel.
According to Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director and CEO of APSEZ, “This project reflects our growing capabilities in supporting large-scale energy infrastructure developments across different regions. With marine operations in 12 countries and an expanding fleet serving ports, LNG terminals, national oil companies, refineries, and offshore facilities, we have deep operational expertise to operate in complex marine environments.
