LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Duke Offshore was promoted by George A Duke, Komal G Duke and Avik G Duke as a private limited company in Dec.'85 and was converted into a public limited company in Sep.'94. 


The company started as a diving and underwater engineering company offering specialised underwater inspection services to the offshore oil industry. It expanded its operations into hook-up and commissioning of offshore oil fields installations, construction and fabrication of small offshore structures. It has its workshop at Tarapur, Maharashtra.

  
The company has entered into an agreement with Merpro Process Technology, UK, a hi-tech process company, to jointly market and manufacture its products in India and abroad. In 1995-96, the company proposed to expand its activities through a major expansion programme. The company which was hiring equipments from outside sources till then, proposed to own the equipments and machinery to reduce the cost of operations. To part-finance its expansion and modernisation programme, it came out with a public issue in Dec.'95. 

 
Reputed client list includes ONGC, Mazagaon Dock, Bombay Port Trust, Shipping Corporation of India, BPCL Refinery, HPCL, Essar Oil, Tata Power House, NKK Japan, Hyundai Corporation, South Korea, etc.

 

Dividend

Due to financial loss in the Current Financial year and to conserve the resources, the directors do not recommended declare any dividend.

 

Operations

Profile

 

1990 saw the company starting offshore oil platform top side maintenance, followed soon thereafter with setting up their own yard outside Mumbai for fabrication and specialized piping for the oil industry. With the increasing demand for these services the company entered into Electrical and Instrumentation work for the oil industry. Finally they were doing multiple platform hook up and pre commissioning work for ONGC through Mazagon Dock Ltd (MDL)

 

1995 Subject had its Initial Public Issue (IPO) on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Ahmedabad Stock exchange (ASE) and Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE). The issue was more than twice oversubscribed.

 

1995 The company took up pipe line river crossings for Oil and Gas and soon there after took up water pipe line work and has now a specialist team for water pipe line fabrication and laying.

 

1999 The company suffered major financial reverses mainly due to inability to recover its outstanding dues from two major clients, invoking of its Bank Guarantees and commencement of arbitration proceedings and legal cases, by 2005 Company wins an arbitration, and clears outstanding liabilities.

 

2007 The company fully recovered from its reverses sets new course to meet new challenges in its specialized fields. Excellent labour relations has ensured the return of all their specialized and experienced personnel. They are now more determined to prove ourselves once again. Their motto is Creating Excellence
