Headquartered in the major port city of Klaipėda, Lithuania, Garant Group operates as a diversified maritime organization with a history spanning over three decades. Since its establishment in 1990, the enterprise has evolved from a localized technical supplier into a comprehensive international service provider for the commercial shipping and offshore industries. The company functions as a parent organization for several specialized divisions, creating an integrated network that addresses the lifecycle needs of sea-going vessels.
A significant portion of the company's identity relies on its extensive technical capabilities in ship repair and conversion. The group manages complex projects ranging from structural hull repairs and steel renewal to the complete overhaul of main and auxiliary engines. Unlike entities that focus solely on parts distribution, this organization emphasizes hands-on engineering. It maintains mobile maintenance teams capable of performing "riding squad" voyages, allowing critical repair work to continue while vessels remain at sea, thereby reducing operational downtime for shipowners.
A distinct pillar of the group’s operational profile involves underwater technical services. Through its specialized diving units, the company executes hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and underwater inspections, which are essential for maintaining vessel fuel efficiency and structural integrity without dry-docking. Simultaneously, the group manages a robust safety division dedicated to the inspection, certification, and supply of life-saving appliances and firefighting equipment. This safety-focused arm ensures that merchant fleets and offshore installations meet strict international maritime conventions and classification society standards.
The organization also engages in the manufacturing and supply of heavy marine equipment, including mooring ropes, lifting gear, and anchors. It maintains extensive warehousing facilities near key transport hubs to support rapid logistics for spare parts and technical supplies. While its roots remain firmly planted in the Baltic Sea region, the company extends its services to ports across Europe, West Africa, and other global maritime hubs. By coordinating between its repair, diving, safety, and supply arms, Garant Group supports ship managers and offshore operators with round-the-clock technical readiness, acting as a singular partner for diverse engineering and logistical challenges in the marine sector.
