Fourteen Universe Marine Services completed bathymetric survey works at Khorfakkan Port and Hamriya Port, Sharjah, supporting accurate marine planning, dredging and post-work verification.
Our survey team carried out sea-floor mapping, depth measurement and hydrographic data collection in active port environments. The work required careful coordination with port operations, vessels and marine access requirements.
The survey outputs below document our bathymetric survey assignments for Khorfakkan Port and Hamriya Port and demonstrate the clear, practical reporting we bring to marine projects.

Fourteen Universe Marine Services HFZ successfully completed dredging works at Khorfakkan Port while maintaining close coordination with port operations and active vessel movements.
Completing the dredging job inside an operating port, despite heavy vessel movement and repeated operational constraints, was a highly challenging task. Our team continued to coordinate the dredging plant, discharge arrangements, marine traffic and port requirements with patience, discipline and persistence.
We sincerely appreciate the Port Authority, Harbour Master, port operations team and all supporting personnel for their cooperation and confidence. The Port Authority admired the quality, commitment and professionalism of our work, and this recognition is a proud achievement for Fourteen Universe Marine Services HFZ.

with real results.
The photographs below document selected heavy-lift, salvage and wreck-removal operations. Our experience covers grounded vessels, sunken craft, dismantling, lifting, refloating and marine recovery works.
Hamriya Port & Khalid Port
Challenging wreck removal operations.
Wreck removal in port waters demands careful planning, controlled lifting and close coordination between cranes, barges, tugs, divers, riggers and port authorities. Our team has handled difficult vessel sections, unstable wreck structures, restricted access and demanding working conditions while preparing, lifting and removing sunken vessels safely and methodically. Where required, underwater cutting and dismantling are used to divide large or unstable sections for controlled lifting.
We sincerely appreciate the cooperation of the Harbour Masters, port authorities, marine operators, crane and barge crews, divers, rigging teams and all support personnel. Their coordination and assistance were essential in completing these challenging operations professionally and safely.
