Unidive Marine Services (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. functions as a specialized provider of commercial diving and subsea engineering solutions within the Southeast Asian maritime industry. Headquartered in Johor, Malaysia, the company operates as a key entity within the wider Unidive Subsea group, which traces its foundational roots back to 1996. Since its specific incorporation and commencement of Malaysian operations in 2006, Unidive Marine Services has developed a robust operational footprint that spans both West and East Malaysia, including key maritime hubs such as Port Klang, Penang, and Labuan, as well as extending support to regions like Kalimantan.
The company’s core mandate revolves around Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance (IRM) for the shipping, port, and offshore energy sectors. It is recognized for its ability to execute complex underwater tasks without requiring vessels to dry-dock, thereby minimizing operational downtime for shipowners and operators. Its technical portfolio encompasses a broad spectrum of services, ranging from underwater hull cleaning and propeller polishing to intricate underwater welding, cutting, and cofferdam installation for hull repairs.
Beyond manual diving operations, Unidive Marine Services has integrated Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) technology to enhance operational safety and efficiency, particularly for inspections in hazardous or difficult-to-access subsea environments. The company holds accreditations from major International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) members, enabling it to conduct approved In-Water Surveys (IWS) and Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Dry-docking (UWILD). These certifications allow the firm to validate the structural integrity of vessels for regulatory compliance using closed-circuit television (CCTV) and photographic documentation.
Serving a diverse clientele that includes major oil and gas conglomerates, shipping lines, and drilling contractors, the organization maintains a strict emphasis on safety standards and operational quality. Its teams are deployed for both inshore harbor works and offshore projects, supporting assets such as Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units and drilling rigs. By combining established diving expertise with modern subsea technology, Unidive Marine Services plays a vital role in maintaining the seaworthiness and efficiency of maritime assets navigating the busy trade routes of the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea.
