Based in the central Mediterranean, Triton Diving Services Ltd operates as a specialized provider of underwater engineering, maintenance, and technical support for the maritime and offshore industries. Established in 2005 in Malta, the company was founded with the objective of developing a professional commercial diving hub capable of serving vessels crossing the Mediterranean’s busy shipping lanes. Over the years, it has evolved from a local diving operator into an internationally active entity, deploying rapid-response teams to ports and offshore locations worldwide for complex subsea projects.
The company’s core identity revolves around ship husbandry and underwater repair, allowing vessels to undergo critical maintenance without the need for dry-docking. Its operational capabilities encompass a broad spectrum of in-water services, ranging from routine hull cleaning and propeller polishing to intricate structural repairs. Using advanced hydraulic equipment and high-pressure water jetting systems, its divers remove marine fouling to restore vessel hydrodynamics and fuel efficiency. Beyond cleaning, the company performs detailed underwater inspections, including class-approved in-water surveys (IWS) and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as ultrasonic and magnetic particle inspections.
A significant portion of Triton Diving Services Ltd’s work involves technical repair solutions. The company employs certified wet and dry welding techniques to address hull damage, cracks, and corrosion. When permanent repairs are required below the waterline, the firm utilizes custom-fabricated cofferdams—watertight enclosures that allow technicians to work on the ship’s hull in a dry environment while the vessel remains afloat. This capability is essential for emergency repairs, minimizing commercial downtime for shipowners and operators.
In addition to serving the commercial shipping fleet, the company supports the offshore oil and gas sector. Its teams execute pipeline maintenance, subsea valve operations, and seabed surveys, often working in challenging environments. The firm has also diversified into specialized testing services, offering proof load testing for cranes and lifting equipment using water-filled weight bags. Recognized by major classification societies, Triton Diving Services Ltd adheres to strict safety and quality standards, maintaining its status as a key technical partner for maritime stakeholders requiring immediate, high-precision underwater intervention.
