V.Group, a leading global ship manager and marine services provider, has inaugurated its expanded office in Chennai, India, reinforcing its commitment to the region. This strategic move strengthens V.Group’s ability to engage with customers and seafarers, building on its 40-year history in India.
The state-of-the-art office brings together over 200 colleagues under one roof, supporting V.Group’s crewing, seafarer recruitment, ship management, decarbonisation, and digitalisation operations, as well as finance and IT functions.
