Vijai Marine Services Pvt. Ltd., a Goa-based private shipbuilding firm, whose shipyard at Rassaim, Loutolim, where the fire disaster killing five workers occurred on October 17, has emerged as a key player in Goa's maritime infrastructure development in a short span of time.
Incorporated on December 30, 2020, the company specialises in the design, construction, and commissioning of marine craft and floating vessels for coastal and inland operations. It operates the ISO 9001:2008-certified Vijai Marine Shipyards, founded in 1985 by Jairam I Dialani, and is currently led by Managing Director Suraj Jairam Dialani and Director Haresh Mohanlal Chawla.
Recently, Vijai Marine Services secured a contract from the Goa government for the supply and operation of two state-of-the-art Ro-Ro ferries on a PPP basis. These vessels, equipped with advanced propulsion systems, were recently commissioned and are functioning on the Ribandar-Chorao route.
The deal underscores the company’s growing role in public-private partnerships aimed at modernising Goa’s transport and logistics infrastructure.
