Based in the strategic maritime hub of Vung Tau City, Vietnam, Lam Hong Diving Service Co., Ltd. operates as a specialized provider of underwater technical services and offshore support solutions. Established in 2014 by a group of experienced maritime professionals, including former captains and chief engineers, the company was founded to address the critical need for reliable subsea maintenance and inspection within Vietnam's bustling oil and gas and shipping sectors. Since its inception, the firm has evolved from a focused diving contractor into a multifaceted maritime service provider, supporting both commercial shipping fleets and complex offshore energy projects.
The core of Lam Hong Diving’s operations revolves around commercial diving and subsea intervention. The company deploys teams of certified divers to execute essential underwater tasks that keep vessels seaworthy and compliant without the need for dry-docking. A primary service area is Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Dry-docking (UWILD), where divers perform rigorous assessments of hulls, rudders, and propellers to satisfy regulatory requirements. To enhance vessel performance, the company conducts underwater hull cleaning and propeller polishing, removing marine biofouling that causes drag and increases fuel consumption. These maintenance routines are critical for shipowners seeking to optimize operational efficiency and reduce emissions.
Beyond ship husbandry, Lam Hong Diving plays a significant role in the offshore oil and gas industry. The company supports the construction, maintenance, and repair of subsea infrastructure, including platforms, pipelines, and single point mooring (SPM) systems. Their capabilities extend to non-destructive testing (NDT), underwater welding, and cutting, allowing them to address structural integrity issues beneath the surface. The firm also assists in complex engineering tasks such as the installation and dismantling of underwater constructions and pipeline surveys.
In addition to its subsea expertise, the company has expanded its portfolio to include vessel management and maritime logistics. It acts as a commercial manager and registered owner for a fleet of offshore support vessels, including Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) units, which facilitate logistics for energy operators. By integrating diving expertise with vessel management, Lam Hong Diving provides a cohesive support structure for the maritime industry, ensuring that assets above and below the waterline remain safe, certified, and operational.
