Based in Singapore, Bluewhale Technologies operates as a specialized maritime service provider focused on underwater engineering, vessel maintenance, and inspection solutions. Established with a strong foundation in commercial diving and offshore support, the company has evolved to become a key player in the Southeast Asian maritime hub, offering critical services that ensure the seaworthiness and operational efficiency of ocean-going vessels and offshore structures.
The company’s origins are deeply rooted in practical marine operations. Incorporated in early 2020, Bluewhale Technologies emerged from the rebranding of Dynamic Diving Services, a transition that signaled a strategic shift toward a broader, more technology-integrated approach to subsea maintenance. Operating out of the Benoi Road industrial area, within the COSL (Singapore) Base, the firm is strategically positioned to serve the dense traffic of the Singapore Strait, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Bluewhale Technologies primarily focuses on the underwater hull husbandry sector. Its core operations encompass a comprehensive range of in-water services designed to combat biofouling and structural degradation. These services include underwater hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and valve maintenance. By removing marine growth and restoring propeller surface smoothness, the company helps ship operators significantly reduce drag, thereby improving fuel efficiency and lowering emissions—a critical concern in the modern regulatory environment.
Beyond cleaning and maintenance, the company is recognized for its technical inspection capabilities. Bluewhale Technologies holds approvals from major classification societies to conduct in-water surveys, acting as a substitute for dry-docking inspections. The firm utilizes both skilled commercial divers and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to perform detailed assessments of hull plating, welding seams, and appendages. The integration of ROV technology allows for precise, repeatable data collection and safer operations in challenging underwater environments, minimizing risk to human divers while providing high-definition visual evidence to shipowners and class surveyors.
In the broader maritime market, Bluewhale Technologies functions as an essential support node for the shipping and offshore energy sectors. Its portfolio extends to supporting services for water transport, including the operation and chartering of support vessels. By combining traditional diving craftsmanship with modern inspection technology, the company supports the continuous operation of merchant fleets, ensuring that vessels remain compliant, fuel-efficient, and structurally sound without the need for costly and disruptive unscheduled dry-docking.
