Dolphin Co

Dolphin Co, formally operating as Dolphin Shipping & Offshore Marine Services, is a specialized maritime organization established in 1991 to provide integrated logistical and technical support to the shipping and energy sectors. Founded by a consortium of retired high-ranking naval officers and maritime professionals with European academic backgrounds, the company was built on a foundation of military discipline combined with commercial adaptability. This unique heritage allowed the organization to rapidly transition from a startup into a respected regional player, primarily serving the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea markets. The company’s operations are anchored in its comprehensive shipping agency services. Dolphin Co acts as a vital link between vessels and port authorities, handling a diverse array of agency duties including tramp and liner services, crew husbandry, and cargo forwarding. It holds historical significance in its operational region as a pioneer of private maritime enterprise; it was notably one of the first private entities to secure government licensing for passenger vessel services and rotating hotel management in specific strategic corridors. This legacy of navigating complex regulatory environments helped the company expand its portfolio into more intricate logistical areas, such as ship brokering and project cargo handling. Beyond traditional agency work, Dolphin Co has established a strong identity in the offshore and subsea sectors. Recognizing the technical demands of the oil and gas industry, the company developed specialized divisions dedicated to diving and salvage operations. These technical teams are equipped to execute critical underwater tasks, including hull cleaning, structural inspections, and emergency salvage of distressed vessels. To further support offshore clients, the company facilitates the deployment of supply vessels and manages technical maintenance for marine assets. Additionally, Dolphin Co provides marine insurance brokering, covering Protection and Indemnity (P&I) as well as Hull and Machinery risks, ensuring a holistic approach to maritime safety and risk management. Through strategic alliances with engineering specialists and diving experts, Dolphin Co has solidified its role as a multifaceted maritime contractor, capable of addressing the diverse requirements of shipowners, charterers, and offshore operators throughout its regional network.
