EPRONS Ltd

Based in Riga, Latvia, EPRONS Ltd operates as a specialized underwater technical service provider and equipment manufacturer with a distinct footprint in the Baltic maritime sector. Since its establishment in the early 1990s, the organization has evolved from a collective of commercial divers into a comprehensive maritime engineering firm. The company traces its origins to professional diving operations, initially formed to address complex subsea challenges within the region. Over decades of activity, it has maintained a dual business model, simultaneously executing heavy underwater construction works and developing technology for subsea observation. The core of the company’s operational history lies in professional diving services. Field teams execute intricate hydro-technical construction and repair tasks often required by port authorities and civil engineering contractors. These operations frequently involve the maintenance of critical port infrastructure, such as quay walls, sluices, and underwater pipelines, as well as support for hydroelectric power plants. Beyond fixed infrastructure, the company actively supports the commercial shipping industry through vessel maintenance. This includes underwater hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and underwater welding or cutting services, which allow vessel operators to address damage and fuel efficiency issues without the costly and time-consuming interruption of entering a dry dock. A significant aspect of the company’s identity is its role as a manufacturer of underwater robotics. Leveraging years of operational experience in the low-visibility and harsh conditions typical of Baltic waters, the firm designs and produces Remotely Operated Vehicles. These robotic systems are engineered to assist in detailed surveys, search and rescue missions, and technical inspections where human divers face significant risks or operational limitations. The production of these vehicles demonstrates a strategic expansion from purely service-based operations to contributing hardware solutions for the broader offshore and marine survey markets. The synergy between field operations and the manufacturing division allows for the practical application and refinement of technology. The company utilizes its own equipment in real-world scenarios, ensuring that the tools meet the rigorous demands of maritime professionals. While deeply rooted in Latvian waters, the organization serves a wider market, supplying technical equipment to international clients involved in oceanography, security, and offshore energy. By combining manual diving expertise with unmanned technology, EPRONS Ltd addresses the full spectrum of underwater accessibility, ensuring the safety and longevity of submerged assets across the maritime sector.
