About DigitalOcean Marine Engineering

India's Green Shipbuilding
Gateway to the World

DigitalOcean Marine Engineering Private limited (DOME) is a greenfield, export-oriented shipbuilding and ship repair complex situated on the pristine Eastern Coastline near Ramayapatnam, Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh — conceived as India's first purpose-built yard designed from the ground up for the era of sustainable shipping.

Positioned along India's Bay of Bengal coastline, the facility commands direct, unobstructed access to the world's most active shipping corridors linking South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, the Middle East and Australia. Ramayapatnam's natural channel, prevailing weather conditions and planned deep-water infrastructure make it an ideal location for year-round, multi-vessel operations.

Backed by a promoter consortium with over 500 man-years of combined expertise in association with Challa Group India spanning naval architecture, export shipbuilding, port terminal development, offshore platform engineering, Hyper Scale data centre critical systems, and large-scale infrastructure delivery across 9 APAC nations — DigitalOcean Marine Engineering (DOME) brings global standards to Indian shores.

The facility is aligned with the Andhra Pradesh Blue Economy Vision 2047, India's Sagarmala Programme, and the Government's push to make India a top-5 global shipbuilding nation by 2030.

50 MWp captive solar plant covers 40% of total yard energy needs from Day 1. Wind assessment underway for additional 20 MW by 2028.
95%
Steel Scrap Recovery
95%+ steel scrap recovery and recycling. Priority procurement of low-carbon certified steel, targeting 30% recycled content in all hulls by 2027.
ZLD
Zero Liquid Discharge
Full ZLD effluent treatment for all industrial wastewater. Closed-loop bilge and oily water treatment. Complete MARPOL waste reception facility.
2045
Net Zero Operations
Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions tracking from Year 1. Aligned with India's Net Zero 2070 and IMO GHG 2023 Strategy. Production Net Zero target: 2045.
⛽
Alternative Fuel Ready Vessels
All new build designs are LNG dual-fuel, methanol-ready and ammonia-compatible. Battery-hybrid and hydrogen pilot vessels available. CII, EEXI and EU Fit-for-55 optimised hull forms as standard.
🐟
Marine Biodiversity Commitment
EIA-compliant site development with preserved mangrove buffer zones. Artificial reef programme to offset any marine habitat disturbance. Quarterly coastal water quality monitoring published publicly.
🌀
Circular Economy in Production
Sandblasting grit recapture and reuse. Solvent recovery in paint shop. Waste heat recovery from compressors and generators. Minimal single-use materials policy across all production areas.
📊
Transparent ESG Reporting
Annual ESG disclosures aligned with GRI Standards and India's BRSR framework. Third-party sustainability audit from Year 1 of operations. Public sustainability dashboard accessible online.
🤝
Community & Local Employment
Target 5,000+ direct and 20,000+ indirect employment positions. Local skills programme with ITI Prakasam and AP State Polytechnics. Women-in-Welding initiative targeting 15% female workforce.
🔋
Shore Power for Visiting Vessels
Shore-to-ship power connections at all berths enabling visiting vessels to shut down auxiliary engines during repair stays — reducing NOx, SOx and PM emissions in the port environment.
