Inhaca Sub Diving Services operates as a specialized provider of underwater marine solutions, establishing itself as a critical technical resource within the maritime and offshore sectors of Mozambique. Headquartered in Pemba, a strategic hub in the Cabo Delgado province, the company functions as a dedicated subsea inspection and intervention entity, serving a diverse range of commercial vessels, port terminals, and coastal infrastructure projects. Unlike generalist diving contractors, the firm has carved out a distinct niche by integrating traditional commercial diving with advanced remote technologies, offering shipowners and operators a modern approach to hull integrity and subsea asset management.
The company’s operations span the entirety of the Mozambican coastline, delivering mobile rapid-response teams to major ports including Maputo, Beira, Nacala, and Quelimane. Its service portfolio is anchored in the precise assessment of underwater assets, where it employs both human divers and Mini-Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to capture high-definition data in challenging visibility conditions. This dual approach allows for detailed inspections of hulls, running gear, sea chests, and quay structures without the safety risks associated with manned diving in confined or hazardous spaces.
A defining characteristic of Inhaca Sub Diving Services is its emphasis on independent verification and data transparency. In an industry often reliant on subjective reporting, the company acts as a neutral third party, validating the quality of hull cleaning operations performed by other contractors. Through the use of AI-enhanced reporting tools and digital imaging, it provides technical managers and charterers with objective grading of biofouling levels and coating conditions. This capability is particularly relevant for vessels managing fuel efficiency standards and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) compliance, as accurate fouling data directly correlates to vessel performance and emissions monitoring.
Beyond routine inspections, the company supports the broader offshore logistics chain by conducting emergency assessments for groundings, propeller entanglements, and foreign object detection. By combining decades of local field experience with digital inspection platforms, Inhaca Sub Diving Services bridges the gap between traditional seamanship and modern marine digitalization, ensuring that vessels transiting East Africa maintain operational readiness and regulatory compliance through reliable, evidence-based subsea intelligence.
