MAY-MARINE

Based in the United Republic of Tanzania, May Marine Company Limited is a specialized maritime contractor and service provider dedicated to sub-sea engineering, commercial diving, and vessel support. Established in May 2004 and headquartered in Dar es Salaam, the company operates as a technical resource for the East African maritime sector. Rather than functioning primarily as a general provisions supplier, the firm focuses on complex technical operations, offering solutions that range from underwater inspections to heavy marine construction and salvage. The core of the company’s operational identity is its commercial diving division. May Marine maintains professional diving teams equipped to execute a variety of underwater tasks essential for shipping and port maintenance. These services include hull cleaning and propeller polishing—maintenance routines that improve vessel fuel efficiency—as well as underwater welding and cutting. The company’s divers also conduct comprehensive surveys of floating stock, such as tugboats and passenger vessels, and inspect sub-sea structures like bridge foundations and port quays to assess structural integrity. Beyond direct vessel support, the company is deeply involved in marine infrastructure projects. Its engineering portfolio includes the installation of sub-sea pipelines for both utility and industrial purposes. Notably, the firm has executed projects such as the installation of freshwater intake pipelines in Lake Victoria and submarine pipelines across coastal creeks. These operations often require precise underwater coordination to lay and secure piping systems on the lakebed or seabed, supporting both municipal water supplies and industrial logistics. May Marine also serves the offshore energy and logistics markets. The firm performs maintenance on Single Point Mooring (SPM) terminals and offshore oil platforms, ensuring that critical fuel transfer points remain operational. This work has historically included the towing and repair of capsized buoys and the servicing of offshore terminals. Additionally, the company acts as a salvage contractor, responding to marine accidents to recover sunk cargo barges and fishing vessels. By clearing wrecks from dockyards and coastal waters, the company helps maintain safe navigation channels. Registered as a specialized marine contractor, the firm integrates these technical capabilities with broader onshore and offshore logistics to support Tanzania's shipping and industrial activities.
