Artic Diving operates as a specialized maritime service provider, delivering a comprehensive suite of underwater solutions to the shipping and offshore industries. Headquartered in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, the company leverages its strategic position within one of the world's most critical maritime hubs to offer rapid mobilization and support for vessels at anchorage and in port. The organization focuses on maintaining the operational efficiency and structural integrity of marine assets, ensuring that commercial vessels can minimize downtime and maintain optimal fuel performance through rigorous maintenance protocols.
The core of the company’s operations revolves around underwater ship husbandry, a critical sector in maritime logistics that involves the maintenance and repair of vessels while they remain afloat. Artic Diving employs teams of certified commercial divers who execute essential tasks such as underwater hull cleaning. By removing biofouling—marine growth that accumulates on a ship's hull—the company helps ship operators significantly reduce hydrodynamic drag, leading to lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon emissions. These cleaning operations utilize various methodologies, including brush systems and high-pressure water jetting, tailored to the specific condition of the vessel’s coating and the type of marine fouling present.
Beyond routine cleaning, Artic Diving provides intricate technical services such as underwater welding and cutting. These capabilities allow for immediate repairs to hull plating, rudders, and other submerged structures without the need for expensive dry-docking. The company also conducts detailed underwater inspections and surveys, often utilizing video and photographic documentation to provide classification societies and ship owners with accurate assessments of a vessel's condition.
In addition to ship-specific services, the company supports civil marine infrastructure projects. Its operational scope extends to harbor facility maintenance, including the installation and repair of fenders, quay wall inspections, and underwater concreting. The divers and technical teams are also equipped to handle salvage operations and complex tasks such as mattress placing and armor rock installation, which are vital for seabed protection and offshore construction. Through these varied activities, Artic Diving functions as a versatile partner in the maritime supply chain, ensuring that both transient vessels and permanent marine structures remain safe, compliant, and fully operational in the demanding marine environment.
