Rana Diving S.p.A.

Based in the maritime hub of Ravenna, Italy, Rana Diving S.p.A. operates as a specialized subsea contractor deeply integrated into the offshore energy and marine infrastructure industries. Since its inception in 1965, the organization has transitioned from a local commercial diving service into an international provider of complex underwater engineering and marine operations. The company focuses primarily on executing technical interventions beneath the waterline, serving clients across the oil and gas sector, renewable energy markets, and civil maritime construction fields. A central element of the company’s operational identity is its capability in saturation diving. This specialized technique allows divers to live under pressure for extended periods, enabling them to perform continuous work at significant depths without the interruptions caused by frequent decompression obligations. To facilitate these deep-water missions, Rana maintains a fleet of mobile saturation diving systems and hyperbaric rescue units. These modular assets are designed to be deployed onto various vessels of opportunity, effectively converting standard offshore ships into fully functional diving support vessels. This logistical approach provides the company with the flexibility to mobilize resources rapidly across different geographical regions, including the Mediterranean Sea, West Africa, and the Middle East. Beyond deep-water saturation projects, the company conducts surface-supplied air diving for shallower interventions, such as harbor maintenance and coastal infrastructure repairs. Their operational scope covers the entire lifecycle of subsea assets, ranging from the initial installation of rigid and flexible pipelines to riser tie-ins and the placement of structural platform components. A significant portion of their workload involves Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance (IRM) campaigns, where teams perform non-destructive testing and remedial construction to ensure the long-term integrity of submerged structures. The organization relies on an internal engineering department to support these physical activities, handling project management, structural analysis, and the development of safety procedures for offshore campaigns. As maritime industries evolve, the company has applied its subsea expertise to the offshore wind sector, assisting with cable protection and turbine foundation maintenance. Additionally, Rana engages in decommissioning projects, managing the engineering and execution required to safely remove obsolete platforms and underwater infrastructure from the seabed. Through these varied capabilities, the company functions as a comprehensive technical partner for marine operators facing complex subsea challenges.
