Maritime activities and underwater unit

Our company specializes in providing integrated solutions in land, maritime, and underwater operations, thanks to the synergy between our various operational departments. The wide availability of equipment and resources allows us to intervene both on land and at sea with speed, efficiency, and maximum effectiveness, ensuring immediate support even in emergency situations.

OUR SERVICES

UNDERWATER UNIT

Our operational bases are located in Cagliari, Sarroch, Villaputzu, Marina di Arbatax, and Livorno. Our divers are available 24 hours a day for emergency operations in Sardinia and Tuscany, and can operate throughout the entire national territory within 24 to 48 hours. The diving division is composed of professionals with over twenty years of experience gained in international contexts, including offshore oil platforms and major global projects in the Oil & Gas sector such as North Stream, as well as historically significant naval recovery operations such as the Costa Concordia and other wrecks.

All our teams operate in full compliance with European standards and procedures UNI 11366 and hold international IMCA/HSE certifications. They are capable of carrying out any type of underwater operation, from construction work to dredging, demolition, installation, cutting and welding, up to complex ship recovery missions.

The dives are performed using state-of-the-art equipment, including Kirby Morgan diving helmets, which allow divers to maintain constant audio/video communication with the supervisor and the surface support team. Every operation is recorded in high definition and provided to the client as documentary evidence.

Thanks to our extensive fleet of naval vessels, we can operate at all levels of intervention. The team is also equipped with an ROV(Remotely Operated Vehicle)capable of performing video inspections up to 300 meters deep.

VESSEL RECOVERY

In recent years, we have carried out major maritime recovery operations:

“Oceans Five” – Capo Carbonara (CA)
The prompt intervention of our team of divers prevented the sinking of the Mega Yacht and the consequent contamination of the Marine Protected Area by hydrocarbons. The vessel was kept afloat using lifting balloons and was later towed to a safe harbor.

“Santa Domenica” – Secca del Pevero, Porto Cervo (SS)
The vessel, which had run aground on the rocks and was severely damaged, was secured by our team, preventing its sinking and any risk of marine pollution. Subsequently, thanks to the crane on our barge Argothe boat was recovered and transported to the shipyard.

“Gennaro Cantiello” – Su Siccu, Cagliari
The wreck of the historic iron ship, once used to transport “special” prisoners to Asinara, had been lying sunken for years in front of the Marina di Bonaria. Measuring 42 meters in length and weighing approximately 180 tons, it was dismantled and recovered by our underwater team. The operations involved underwater cutting with a thermal lance and the division of the wreck into three sections: bow, central cell, and stern with the engine room, the latter lifted entirely, weighing about 55 tons.

"C3 Rubicon Salvage" - Cagliari

On Monday, October 13, Turismar intervened at the request of the Port Authority of Cagliari to prevent the sinking of the C3 Rubicona 127-meter cement carrier abandoned for four years with 7,000 tons of cement on board.
Anti-pollution teams, technicians, and divers were deployed to secure the area and identify a leak in the fire-fighting system.
After sealing the sea intakes with cofferdams and repairing the damage, the ship was stabilized and monitored for three days, during which divers carried out non-destructive inspections on the hull using the Cygnus. A complex operation managed with speed, safety, and expertise.
