Our story
From fish farming to offshore — and home again
Today, harbour construction accounts for roughly 80% of the company’s work, with ship services making up the remaining 20%. The company has completed projects in many parts of the world and has the vessels, equipment and experienced people for demanding work.
The team
An experienced team behind every job
Green Marine Divers is not a one-man operation. Behind every job stands a close-knit team of experienced divers, engineers and equipment operators. Between them they bring deep experience across diving, harbour construction, welding and marine services — and they know how to work together when it counts.
For more than 15 years the company has delivered work — at home in the Faroe Islands and around the world — for municipalities, ports, the aquaculture industry and private clients. We arrive with the right vessels, equipment and people for the job, and we put safety, quality and meeting deadlines first. That is why customers rely on us, even when a job is large or difficult.
