About Dolphin Offshore

DOLPHIN OFFSHORE ENTERPRISES INDIA LTD. was incorporated on May 17, 1979 as a Pvt. Ltd company.  The first chairman of the company was Mr Shavax A Lal, ex-Secretary to the first Indian Governor General, Shri C.Rajagopalachari, and a prominent Mumbai businessman. The Managing Director at that time was Rear Admiral Kirpal Singh, a war veteran, with a distinguished record in the Indian Navy. The two shared a vision of building national capacity for the nascent offshore oil industry by providing diving, underwater engineering and allied services for the new projects in Bombay High. To this end, the Company formed an association with Taylor Diving & Salvage Company Inc, a subsidiary of the US-based Halliburton Group and commenced diving operations the same year. Through this association, DOEIL became the first Indian company to acquire the technology for all aspects of offshore diving and, underwater engineering.
​
Dolphin Offshore currently provides the following services:
  • Offshore vessels and tugs for operations in port and Mumbai high
  • Supply of materials and manpower for ongoing offshore projects by company hired vessels
