Bureau Veritas Recognition
Oceanus Marine is recognised by Bureau Veritas (BV), a world-leading classification society with over 190 years of expertise in marine certification and risk assurance. BV recognition confirms that Oceanus Marine operates to the rigorous technical and safety standards required by BV-classed vessels, providing shipowners and operators with independent assurance in the quality of our underwater services.
What is Bureau Veritas?
Bureau Veritas (BV) is one of the world's oldest and most respected classification societies, founded in France in 1828. With a presence in over 140 countries, BV provides independent testing, inspection, and certification services across the maritime, energy, construction, and consumer products industries. In the marine sector, BV establishes and enforces technical standards for the design, construction, and ongoing maintenance of ships and offshore structures. BV classification is recognised by flag states, port authorities, insurers, and charterers worldwide as a mark of seaworthiness and regulatory compliance.

Why Bureau Veritas Recognition Matters in Underwater Services
BV-classed vessels operate under strict maintenance and inspection regimes to retain their class certification. When underwater work is required — whether routine hull cleaning, propeller servicing, or emergency structural repair — BV may require that such work is performed by service providers who meet defined standards of competency, equipment, and procedural rigour. Oceanus Marine's recognition by Bureau Veritas means our team is fully qualified and approved to carry out underwater operations on BV-classed vessels, helping owners and operators maintain classification without the cost and delay of dry-docking.
Our Commitment to Bureau Veritas Standards at Oceanus Marine
Oceanus Marine takes the responsibility of operating to Bureau Veritas standards seriously. Our dive teams are trained in the procedures and documentation requirements expected by BV surveyors, and every underwater job — from initial assessment through to post-work reporting — is conducted with the thoroughness that BV classification demands. Whether your vessel is undergoing a scheduled in-water survey, requires emergency hull repair, or needs routine maintenance to preserve its class, Oceanus Marine delivers services that meet the exacting expectations of one of the world's most established and trusted classification societies.
