Seamec Ltd announced a temporary withdrawal of its offshore support vessel Seamec Agastya from active field operations after encountering technical issues. The company said the decision was taken on January 12, 2026, with the operational update recorded on January 13. The vessel had just begun its charter with HAL Offshore under an ongoing ONGC contract on January 2, 2026, and is expected to resume operations after necessary repairs within an estimated three to four days, subject to technical clearance. The disclosure was made in line with SEBI (LODR) Regulation 30, reflecting Seamec’s adherence to timely market communication.
