Following our acquisition of THC Diving Ltd. earlier this year, we are excited to announce that the integration of THC Diving’s operations into DM Group Services has now been completed and the outfit has been renamed as Dive Marine Services (Gibraltar) Ltd.
Ahead of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) ambitious and challenging goals for 2030 and 2050, the maritime community explores new ways and accelerates its efforts towards decarbonisation and sustainability. Recently, we performed an underwater Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) installation job on one of our client’s 50,000 dwt oil tankers. The expected fuel savings generated through the innovative PBCF design are estimated to be in the range of 3-5% with the same reduction in harmful emissions.
The Covid-19 situation and its implications to businesses call for radical changes of how we are operating. Safe distancing measures and the minimisation of direct human interaction have accelerated technological development and deployment. For our industry, the use and application of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in the space of underwater hull inspections and hull cleaning activities will become the norm.

SINGAPORE’S DIVE MARINE GROUP SERVICES LAUNCHES INTERNATIONAL GROWTH STRATEGY IN GIBRALTAR
Underwater Hull Inspection has been around for centuries. In bygone days, the strongest swimmers on galley ships were sent below hull with primitive tools to remove barnacles and seaweed, or to patch up holes. As ships got bigger and more sophisticated, the necessity for regular hull inspection by the first generation of commercial divers became more imperative as a means to avoid ocean catastrophe from hidden damage.
