Diver: Essential Skills for Underwater Maintenance and Inspections Divers play a critical role in maintaining and inspecting underwater infrastructure, from offshore oil rigs to ship hulls and subsea pipelines. Their specialized skills ensure that vital components of maritime operations remain in optimal condition, preventing costly repairs and ensuring the safety of vessels and facilities. My experience in the maritime industry has shown me the importance of divers in maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of underwater assets. Underwater maintenance and inspections involve a wide range of tasks, including welding, cleaning, and inspecting submerged structures for damage or wear. Divers often work in challenging conditions, navigating limited visibility, strong currents, and confined spaces to carry out essential work. This requires not only technical expertise but also a strong understanding of safety protocols and environmental considerations. A significant trend in the diving industry is the increasing use of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to assist divers in their tasks. ROVs can reach extreme depths and provide real-time visual data, allowing divers to assess situations before descending. However, human divers remain indispensable for many hands-on tasks that require precision and problem-solving skills in real time. Additionally, advanced technologies, such as underwater cameras and sonar systems, are improving the accuracy and efficiency of underwater inspections. Certification and training are essential for professional divers involved in underwater maintenance. Divers must complete rigorous training programs that include both theoretical and practical components, covering areas such as underwater welding, cutting, inspection techniques, and safety procedures. Certification from recognized bodies, such as the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) or the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA), is often required for those working in the commercial diving sector. These certifications ensure that divers are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their jobs safely and effectively. Reflecting on my experiences, divers are indispensable to the maritime industry, particularly in maintaining the safety and longevity of underwater infrastructure. Their ability to work in demanding environments while ensuring the proper maintenance of critical assets makes them invaluable to offshore operations, shipyards, and marine construction projects. For those interested in a dynamic and challenging career, becoming a commercial diver offers a unique opportunity to combine technical skills with adventure.

#SafetySpotlight: Lifeboat Launch Procedures on Offshore Rigs/Platforms Lifeboats represent vital safety equipment ensuring personnel safety during emergencies on offshore platforms and rigs. Compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards mandates the presence of lifeboats on offshore facilities, along with trained personnel for their operation. According to SOLAS Regulations, offshore vessels must carry lifeboats capable of accommodating 37.5% of the crew on each side, with inflatable or rigid liferafts catering to 25% on either side. Despite their importance, offshore crew generally hope lifeboats remain unused. Nonetheless, they serve as essential last resorts, with many individuals grateful for their provision over the years. Most lifeboats are meticulously designed to: 📌 Enable quick and safe deployment and launch. 📌 Facilitate swift and safe long-distance travel. 📌 Ensure rapid and secure arrival at designated locations. Musing Time: Take the video below as an example, is that a proper way to launch a lifeboat?

We often receive questions about our operations and capabilities. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions: 🚢 Are support vessels required during equipment installation or operation? There is no need for diving support vessels, crane vessels, or ROVs during installation or operation. Our robotic solutions are installed from the platform, and controlled from a topside control unit. 🐟 Can your equipment be used at offshore wind farms or offshore fish farming operations? Yes, our tools and methods can be used in these marine structures, as well as monopiles, ship hulls, and concrete installations. 🦾 What are the equipment and personnel (POB) requirements in splash zone operations? The splash zone tools and equipment are generally lightweight and deployed from the platform using special rigging techniques. This means that small crews of three to six platform-based personnel can do work that expensive diving teams, or ROVs, often struggle to complete. 🤿 Do you require support from divers or ROVs? No. All our splash zone tools and techniques are designed to avoid any use of divers and ROVs. 🔒 How do you secure your splash zone tools to ensure safe working conditions? We always ensure that our operations are performed to the highest standards of safety. All of our tools are secured in temporary lifting equipment and attached to at least two lifting points. In addition, they are stabilised with hydraulic clamping units. During operations, the splash zone tools are remotely operated from a control unit topside. 👷 Is there any need for assistance from the platform crew? Our teams are small and self-reliant, and most of our equipment is transported and installed by our personnel. We do however require support from a crane crew to assist us with lifting our tools over the side of the platform, and into our pre-installed rigging equipment. Once our tools are unloaded and installed, there is no need for further crane support during operation. 🌊 What is the maximum wave height (Hs) in which OceanTech can perform splash zone operations? Once our robotic solutions are deployed in the splash zone, we can perform cleaning, inspections, repair work, and modification services in wave heights up to 3 metres (Hs). The fact that we are able to work in these conditions provides us with a longer weather window than what is common using conventional methods. ⏱️ What is your equipment mobilisation time? Depending on project complexity, we can mobilise our splash zone tools onshore in two to eight weeks. When the tools are unloaded offshore, we generally use somewhere between one to four shifts to prepare our tools. The time depends on the number of air hoists to be installed under the deck.
