Poni Marine operates as a specialized maritime and subsea service provider headquartered in Brunei Darussalam. Emerging as the industrial division of the Poni Group, the company focuses on delivering turnkey solutions for the offshore energy, marine construction, and commercial shipping industries. Its operational scope encompasses a wide array of underwater and topside services, ranging from complex marine engineering to routine vessel maintenance and port logistics.
A primary component of the company’s portfolio is its commercial diving and subsea inspection capabilities. Poni Marine utilizes professional dive teams and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to conduct essential underwater works, including Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Dry-docking (UWILD). These regulatory-compliant surveys allow ship owners and operators to assess hull integrity, propeller condition, and structural safety without the logistical and financial burden of removing the vessel from the water. To further support fleet efficiency, the company performs underwater hull cleaning and hydroblasting. By removing biofouling accumulation—such as barnacles and marine slime—these services restore vessel hydrodynamics, thereby reducing frictional drag, lowering fuel consumption, and minimizing carbon emissions for merchant fleets.
Beyond maintenance, Poni Marine plays an active role in port logistics and marine project support. The company maintains a fleet of fast utility boats and work barges used for crew transfers, security patrols, and equipment transportation. It frequently assists visiting foreign naval vessels and commercial ships at Muara Port with logistical necessities, including the deployment of oil containment booms and navigational marker buoys. The organization is also involved in critical marine infrastructure projects, such as subsea cable installations and pipeline maintenance for the regional oil and gas sector.
The company also extends its expertise to the environmental and aquaculture sectors, providing installation and inspection services for underwater structures. Its capabilities in marine casualty response are notable, with teams prepared for salvage operations, object recovery, and emergency repairs. This readiness allows the organization to act as a support tier for maritime safety infrastructure. By combining technical diving expertise with marine engineering resources, Poni Marine addresses the operational continuity needs of the Southeast Asian maritime corridor, serving both government bodies and private corporate clients.
