Based in the Philippines, RIOD Marine Supply and Services operates as a specialized maritime provider that integrates technical underwater solutions with the procurement of essential marine equipment. Established as a wholly Filipino-owned enterprise, the company was founded by a maritime professional with extensive experience in ship husbandry and offshore maintenance. The organization was born out of a specific industry observation: a gap existed in the local market for a unified provider that could simultaneously handle complex underwater tasks and supply the necessary tools and components. Consequently, the company structured its operations to function as a comprehensive "one-stop shop," aiming to streamline procurement and maintenance processes for vessel owners and industrial clients.
The company’s operational headquarters is located in Cebu, strategically positioned to serve the central maritime corridors of the archipelago. To ensure rapid deployment capabilities across the nation, the firm maintains satellite offices and equipment depots in Manila, covering the Luzon region, and Davao, serving Mindanao. This logistical network allows the team to mobilize quickly for urgent requirements, ranging from emergency hull repairs to routine inspections. The organization is deeply rooted in the concept of generating employment opportunities for skilled local divers, leveraging indigenous talent to perform high-stakes underwater engineering work.
At its core, the company specializes in a broad spectrum of underwater services, including hydrographic surveys, underwater hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and ultrasonic thickness gauging. These services are critical for maintaining vessel efficiency and regulatory compliance, often serving as alternatives to costly dry-docking procedures. Beyond ship maintenance, the firm extends its technical expertise to the energy and industrial sectors, servicing power plants, refineries, oil depots, and mining facilities. The team handles the inspection and repair of partially submerged structures, such as piers, pilings, and cathodic protection systems, ensuring the structural integrity of critical coastal infrastructure.
Complementing its service arm, the supply division distributes specialized marine and subsea equipment. This includes deck decompression chambers, diving control panels, hydraulic cleaning units, and navigation equipment. By controlling both the labor and the supply chain, the company ensures that projects—whether underwater cutting and welding or complex salvage operations—are executed with compatible, high-quality gear. The organization emphasizes technical capability and safety in hazardous environments, a philosophy symbolized by its corporate identity, which features a gear and a wave to represent the intersection of industrial mechanics and the marine environment.
