Innovating Offshore Food Logistics
Challenge
The offshore industry in India faced monopolistic practices in the supply of specialized DNV 2.7-1 offshore containers. With only one vendor available, leasing costs for both dry and reefer containers were inflated to three times the fair market rate. Additionally, poor service quality led to supply chain disruptions, pilferages, and spoilages, impacting operational efficiency and hygiene standards.

Solution
Saraf Corporation took a bold and unprecedented step—we designed and manufactured our own DNV 2.7-1 offshore containers, ensuring:
Proprietary Design & Full Control
Our in-house design is now Saraf Corporation’s IP, granting us full autonomy and operational independence.
Fleet Expansion & Market Leadership
We developed a fleet of 75+ containers, removing all dependency on third-party vendors and gaining strategic control.
Seamless Logistics & Supply Chain Integration
We achieved end-to-end control over offshore logistics—from container storage to delivery—ensuring full backward integration.
Pioneering Offshore Food Safety
We overhauled legacy systems with a sealed-container model, enhancing offshore food safety, quality assurance, and traceability.
Today, no competitor can match our efficiency, as they lack the infrastructure of both a dedicated distribution center and proprietary container fleet. By disrupting industry norms, Saraf Corporation has set a new benchmark in offshore logistics and food safety—a game-changer for the entire sector.
