Based in the strategic maritime hub of the Canary Islands, ATLANTSHIPSERVICE DIVING operates as a specialized provider of professional underwater solutions for the commercial shipping and offshore industries. Headquartered in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the company functions as a distinct technical entity dedicated exclusively to subsea engineering, maintenance, and inspection, serving the heavy traffic of vessels navigating the Atlantic Ocean.
The company’s origins lie within the broader framework of Atlantshipservice S.L., a general maritime support firm. The diving division was initially established as an internal department to handle specific underwater tasks. However, as the demand for specialized hull maintenance and complex subsea repairs grew, the division expanded its technical capabilities and workforce. To sustain this growth and provide a more focused operational structure, it was eventually constituted as an independent company. This evolution allowed the firm to concentrate its resources entirely on the technical rigors of industrial diving while maintaining its heritage of maritime logistical support.
Operationally, ATLANTSHIPSERVICE DIVING focuses on optimizing vessel performance and extending the service life of marine structures. Its teams are equipped to perform essential husbandry tasks such as underwater hull cleaning and propeller polishing, which are critical for reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency for transiting merchant ships. Beyond routine maintenance, the company executes complex underwater repairs, including cutting and welding operations that allow vessels to address structural issues without the costly need for dry-docking.
The firm also plays a significant role in maritime safety and compliance through its inspection services. Utilizing closed-circuit television (CCTV) and photography, its divers conduct detailed surveys approved by major classification societies, assessing the condition of hulls, rudders, and sea chests. In addition to vessel support, the company extends its expertise to the offshore sector, providing maintenance for terminals and platforms. Their scope further includes environmental protection measures, such as pollution control and emergency response, reflecting the rigorous environmental standards required in European waters. By leveraging the geographic advantage of the Canary Islands, the company provides essential support to international fleets requiring immediate technical intervention mid-voyage.
