Trident, a Wärtsilä company, has strengthened its underwater-related servicing capabilities with the opening of a new diving centre facility in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.

“Our certified technicians can perform safe, reliable, and cost-effective repairs either underwater or afloat. Furthermore, we can assess repair requirements with thorough underwater inspections by our specialist teams. This adds considerable customer value since it increases the vessel’s operational efficiency while minimizing its downtime,” says William Winters, managing director of Trident, a Wärtsilä Company.

Wärtsilä already has underwater servicing capabilities in Europe through its acquisition of Trident in February 2018, and its subsequent acquisition of the Spanish underwater services company Burriel Navarro later that year.

In addition to the newly added UAE facility, Trident workshops and personnel in the Netherlands, Italy, and the Canary Islands.
