Masirah International Technical & Marine Services

Masirah International Technical & Marine Services operates as a prominent maritime solutions provider within the Sultanate of Oman, distinguished by its specialized focus on subsea engineering and commercial diving. Established around the turn of the millennium, the company has evolved from a diving-centric outfit into a multifaceted marine contractor, playing a vital role in supporting the region’s port infrastructure and offshore oil and gas sectors. Headquartered in Muscat, it functions as a key localized resource for vessels and industrial projects requiring complex underwater intervention. The core of the company’s operational identity lies in its comprehensive underwater services division. Employing full-time teams of qualified commercial divers, Masirah International executes a wide array of subsea tasks essential for vessel maintenance and structural integrity. A primary service area is ship husbandry, where divers utilize hydraulic brush systems and cavitation blasting technology to perform hull cleaning and propeller polishing. These operations are critical for maintaining the fuel efficiency and speed of merchant vessels calling at Omani ports. Beyond cleaning, the firm conducts rigorous underwater inspections, including Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and video surveys, often acting as the underwater eyes for classification societies and shipowners. Technical capabilities extend to complex repair and construction work below the waterline. The company is equipped to handle underwater cutting and welding, allowing for in-situ repairs that prevent the need for costly dry-docking. Their assets include specialized air diving spreads and decompression chambers, enabling safe operations at various depths in compliance with stringent industry safety standards. This diving expertise is frequently integrated into larger marine construction projects, where the company supports the installation of pipelines, quay walls, and breakwaters. Through this blend of routine vessel maintenance and heavy marine construction support, Masirah International maintains a continuous presence in the upkeep of Oman’s maritime assets.
