Operational footage
How our teams work below the waterline
Recorded during live operations in European ports and waterways. It shows the conditions our divers, ROV pilots and supervisors work in daily: restricted visibility, current, and structures that stay in service throughout the works.
03Services
A full range of underwater works under one contracting framework
Capability is maintained in-house, from surface-supplied diving spreads and hydraulic tooling to underwater cutting, welding and ROV systems. Each scope is prepared by our technical team before mobilisation and delivered with a written report.
Civil Underwater Works
Construction, maintenance and repair of quay walls, locks, weirs and foundations, including underwater concrete and steel works. All work is executed by certified commercial divers and documented in method statements approved before mobilisation.
Maritime Shipping
In-water services for seagoing vessels: hull and propeller cleaning, inspection, underwater repair and emergency assistance in port. Class surveyors can attend on request, with reporting delivered in the format required by the owner or flag state.
Inland Shipping
Support for barges, terminals and inland fleets, including damage assessment, propulsion works and clearance of obstructions. Rapid mobilisation is possible throughout the Benelux waterway network from our Antwerp base.
Salvage
Casualty assistance, refloating, recovery of objects and wreck removal, coordinated with owners, authorities and insurers. Operations are led by Antwerp Underwater Salvage bv and coordinated with port authorities, class and underwriters.
ROV & Offshore
Remotely operated vehicle inspection, survey and offshore support where diver access is restricted or depth requires it. Deliverables include annotated video, sonar records and a written condition report for maintenance planning.
Petrochemicals & Consultancy
Intake, outfall and jetty works for process industry, plus technical scoping, supervision and independent reporting. Scopes follow site-specific permit procedures and are supervised by experienced diving personnel.

Permanently present in the Port of Antwerp
Our Antwerp teams work daily on vessels, quay structures and locks inside a port that never stops operating. Because they are based in the dock area, mobilisation for planned works and incidents is measured in hours, not days.
