Company Information
Blue Water Logistics Ltd is engaged in the business of providing logistics and supply chain solutions to its customers. Its key services include freight forwarding, custom clearance and transportation handling services. It’s a Multimodal Transport Operator registered under the Multimodal Transportation of Goods Act 1993 to carry on the business of multimodal transportation.
Blue Water Logistics Strengths
Well-established Relationship with Clients
Through regular communication and flexible logistics solutions, Blue Water Logistics Ltd has a client base that provides it with repeated business for their different logistics needs. The revenue generated from such repeated customers as a percentage of total revenue from operations for the period ended on September 30, 2024 and for the financial years ended on March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively were 91.68%, 93.27%, 91.66%, and 87.63% of the total revenue from operations.
This relationship with clients has been important for the company to sustain competition in the industry. By regularly meeting with its clients, it gains a deep understanding of their requirements and provides tailored solutions, whether through multimodal transport or other efficient methods.
Wide Customers Portfolio Across Different Industry Verticals
As of September 30, 2024, the company has successfully served a diverse range of customers spanning across various industries, including chemicals, confectionery, crockery, pharma, paper, automobile, textile, electronics, fitness equipment and agricultural products. Each of these sectors presents unique challenges, and its ability to cater to such varied industries demonstrates its operational efficiency and versatility in addressing their specific logistics needs.
Wide Range of Logistics Services
As a multimodal transport operator, the company is equipped to offer a comprehensive range of logistics services, customised to meet the varied and evolving needs of its clients. Its service offerings encompass ocean freight forwarding, customs clearance, transportation, and other value-added services such as fumigation services, container handling services, all designed to optimise service levels, reduce operational costs, and enhance the quality of its clients' supply chains.
With a robust logistics and transportation network, coupled with a diversified service portfolio, the company is able to provide end-to-end solutions that ensure the seamless movement of goods across borders and regions.
Domestic and Global Network
Since the company operates in a globalised economy, it is essential for businesses to expand their reach and customer base across countries and sometimes across borders to compete in the market. Thus, to transport their products to these different markets whether within countries or across borders, they need to hire logistics services to assist them.
Blue Water Logistics Ltd operates through different agents for providing its services in overseas locations. It takes advantage of these opportunities as it provides the services to its customer base which are diversified across India and around the globe and it also provides cross country logistic services.
Risks of Blue Water Logistics IPO
- No Custom House Agent License
The company currently does not possess a Custom House Agent (CHA) license under its name, which is necessary for the clearance of cargo at customs houses for both imports and exports. Instead, it carries its operations through different custom house agents to undertake the custom clearance services under their license as necessary for clearance of cargo at entry or departure of a conveyance or the import or export of goods at any customs house.
This allows it to navigate the complexities of customs regulations without holding a CHA license ourselves. Any delays in the service or refusals or disruptions of services by such Custom House Agency may adversely impact the timely delivery of its goods and it may have to compensate its customers for the loss if any.
- Dependence on Ocean Freight Services
A significant portion of the company’s revenue is derived from its ocean freight services, which constitutes a substantial part of its operations. Its revenue from ocean freight services contributed 83.76%, 76.26%, 84.32% and 80.97% of its revenue from operations for the period ended on September 30, 2024 and for the financial years ended on March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result, any disruption in the uninterrupted operations of its ocean freight services could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.
- Dependence on Certain Key Customers
The company depends on a limited number of customers, which exposes it to a high risk of customer concentration. Fluctuations in the performance of the industries in which certain of its customers operate may result in a loss of customers, a decrease in the volume of work it undertakes or the price at which it offers its services.
