AM Diving Services functions as a specialized commercial diving contractor headquartered in Muscat, within the Sultanate of Oman. Operating in one of the region’s critical maritime corridors, the company provides essential subsea intervention and maintenance solutions to the shipping and offshore industries. Its presence in the Omani market addresses the logistical needs of vessels calling at major ports, ensuring that essential underwater tasks are performed efficiently to minimize downtime.
The core of the company’s operations revolves around underwater ship husbandry, a critical practice for maintaining vessel performance. As ships travel global trade routes, their hulls and running gear accumulate biofouling, such as algae, barnacles, and tubeworms. This accumulation increases hydrodynamic drag, leading to higher fuel consumption and reduced speed. AM Diving Services mitigates these operational challenges through mechanical hull cleaning and propeller polishing. By restoring the smoothness of underwater surfaces, the company helps ship operators reduce bunker costs and lower carbon emissions, facilitating compliance with energy efficiency standards.
Beyond routine cleaning, AM Diving Services executes technical underwater repairs and inspections. The company employs commercial divers equipped to perform wet welding and underwater cutting, allowing for in-water repairs of steel structures, anodes, and other submerged components. These capabilities are essential for addressing structural damage or wear that might otherwise require expensive and time-consuming dry-docking. Furthermore, the firm conducts comprehensive underwater surveys. Using video and photographic documentation tools, divers provide detailed assessments of hull conditions, enabling vessel owners and technical superintendents to make informed decisions regarding maintenance schedules and asset integrity.
The organization’s scope extends to supporting civil engineering projects involving marine infrastructure, such as the inspection of quay walls, jetties, and water intake systems. This work ensures the structural health of the interface between land and sea operations. By combining technical diving expertise with a responsiveness to the continuous nature of the shipping industry, AM Diving Services plays a functional role in the Omani maritime ecosystem, ensuring that both transient shipping traffic and fixed port assets remain operational and safe.
