UMC International continues to enjoy a global reputation for developing and implementing solutions for the operational problems faced by naval and merchant vessel owners and operators.

It has the people and the facilities to help defence and merchant customers tackle many of the challenges faced by their industry......now and in the future.

UMC specialises in the provision of waterborne support allowing naval and merchant ships to significantly reduce the traditional reliance on dry-docking. The company has become established as one of the World's leading specialists in waterborne Ship Maintenance since its formation in 1972. In those days, a revolution in the maritime world was created thanks to UMC's development of new underwater survey equipment as a result of this ships no longer needed to spend time waiting for a dry dock and the concept of wet docking was created.

In the intervening years UMC has grown steadily and today provides proven and affordable solutions for waterborne maintenance and defect rectification for the underwater hull, fittings and through-hull penetrations. Applied correctly, these activities reduce the through-life costs of operating ships, reduce downtime for repairs and maintenance, and enhance the options for maintaining performance and efficiency. The resultant reduction in dock dependency allows the ship owner to retain control of his vessel to suit his needs.
