Based in the United Arab Emirates, AMASCO is a diversified maritime service provider that has operated within the Persian Gulf’s shipping and offshore sectors for over three decades. Established in 1987, the company initially focused on providing repair and maintenance solutions for vessels transiting the region’s busy shipping lanes. Over time, it has expanded its operational scope to become a multi-disciplinary marine contractor, offering technical support, subsea engineering, and logistical services to ship owners, managers, and industrial clients.
The company maintains a strong physical presence in key maritime hubs, including Dubai and Fujairah, allowing it to deploy resources rapidly across all major UAE ports and anchorage areas. Its operations are characterized by a dual focus on surface logistics and underwater technical services. As a prominent player in the subsea sector, AMASCO provides essential husbandry services such as underwater hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and classification society-approved in-water inspections. These services are critical for maintaining vessel fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance for fleets operating in the warm waters of the Middle East.
Beyond underwater capabilities, the company operates a dedicated fleet of supply and crew boats. These vessels facilitate offshore logistics, including the transport of personnel, provisions, and spare parts to ships at anchorage. The company’s logistical arm also handles fresh water supply and general ship agency duties, ensuring that vessels receive necessary stores and husbandry support without significant downtime.
On the engineering front, AMASCO manages fully equipped workshops capable of heavy steel fabrication, piping renewal, and mechanical overhauls. Its technical teams handle complex repairs ranging from pump and valve maintenance to tank cleaning and steelwork for both marine and industrial applications. The organization also extends its expertise to the oil and gas sector, supporting offshore platforms and infrastructure with specialized maintenance and diving teams. By integrating ship agency functions with heavy engineering and specialized diving capabilities, AMASCO serves as a comprehensive technical partner for the international shipping community calling at United Arab Emirates ports. Its growth from a local repair firm to a regional maritime support entity reflects the broader development of the UAE as a global shipping nexus.
