ASX Announcement
3 September 2026
Bhagwan Secures Multi-Year Contract for
Riverside Guardian Vessel
Leading Australian marine solutions company Bhagwan Marine Limited (ASX: BWN) (Bhagwan or the
Company), is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a two-year contract, with an option for a
further two years, by a global Tier 1 energy company for the deployment of the Riverside Guardian
vessel.
The contract represents a significant milestone following Bhagwan’s acquisition of Riverside Marine
earlier this year and demonstrates the strategic value of the transaction through the delivery of a
meaningful revenue synergy.
The Riverside Guardian has been operating as a local charter vessel within the Riverside Oceanic
business. Through Bhagwan’s customer relationships, established position in the offshore energy
sector and business development capability, Bhagwan has secured a significant multi-year
deployment for the vessel, increasing utilisation and generating additional earnings from existing fleet
capacity.
The contract has a minimum committed value of approximately $5.8 million and has the potential to
generate up to approximately $11.6 million over the initial two-year term and the two one-year
extension options, depending on the client's operational requirements and vessel utilisation.
Mobilisation is expected to commence shortly.
Commenting on the contract award, Bhagwan Marine Managing Director & CEO Loui Kannikoski said:
"The award of this contract is an excellent outcome for Bhagwan Marine and demonstrates the
strategic value of the Riverside Marine acquisition.
"A key objective of the acquisition was to generate revenue synergies by leveraging our customer
relationships and market presence to increase volume and utilisation across the combined fleet.
Securing a multi-year deployment for the Riverside Guardian with a global Tier 1 energy company is a
tangible example of that strategy in action.
"Our focus remains on driving organic growth, embedding Riverside Marine and positioning the Group
to capture blue-sky growth opportunities in adjacent sectors. We look forward to supporting our
customer through the safe and reliable delivery of this contract."
This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Bhagwan Marine Limited.
