01 ABOUT SHELTER SUBSEA

A local team is not a compromise.

Subsea engineering in Taiwan has long been led by international contractors — which means long mobilisation cycles, cost structures priced to European and American markets, and friction across language and regulatory lines. Shelter Subsea exists so that international standards and local efficiency no longer have to be traded against each other.

EDGE / 01

Response measured in hours

The crew is already in Taiwan. From request to mobilisation there is no waiting on international scheduling — emergency repairs and short-notice reinforcement arrive fast.

EDGE / 02

No language or regulatory gap

We know Taiwan's sea conditions, port operating rules and local subcontracting practice. Work plans, risk assessments and site coordination run without translation overhead.

EDGE / 03

A sounder cost structure

A local crew carries no international travel, standby or mobilisation burden. The same IMCA operating standard, with a structurally better total project cost.

Shelter Subsea does more than deliver projects —
we are building Taiwan's own subsea engineering talent pool.

03 SERVICES

From the moment of splash-down
to the technicians who follow.

Most contractors cover one link in the chain. Shelter Subsea keeps operations, maintenance, supply, advisory, crewing and training inside a single team — so clients never have to arbitrate responsibility between vendors.

SVC / 01

ROV Technical Services

ROV 技術服務

On-site crew deployment, operational planning and technical support. Pilots and Supervisors assembled to project scope, covering offshore wind foundation inspection, pipeline survey and cable tracking.

SVC / 02

Maintenance & Repair

維修保養

Fault diagnosis, routine maintenance and system function testing — hydraulics, power and control systems — to keep vehicle downtime short.

SVC / 03

Equipment & Cable Supply

採購及線材供應

Equipment selection consulting, umbilical cables and consumables. Specification advice grounded in actual field operation, not catalogue reading.

SVC / 04

Consulting & Advisory

諮詢顧問服務

Feasibility assessment, procedure review and risk management — clarifying the technical and safety boundaries of subsea scope before a project starts.

SVC / 05

Personnel Recruitment

人才招募媒合

Local and international ROV Pilot / Supervisor recruitment, screened by people who have done the job and can tell a real record from a written one.

SVC / 06

ROV Training

ROV 教育訓練

IMCA-certified instructors supplied, plus support for training providers and operators building course structures and procedures to international standard.

04 ROV EXPERIENCE

The vehicles we have actually flown.

Shelter Subsea is built on people and technical capability. Our crew has operated and maintained the vehicle types below, and knows their system behaviour and field limitations — which is what determines the level of support we can give to a client's own spread.

PORT ENGINEERING2024

Harbour structure underwater survey

Condition survey of quay piles and breakwater structures, supporting the engineering team's remediation planning.

06 CERTIFICATION & HSE

If it can't pass an audit, it isn't a standard.

  • 01

    ROV Pilot Technician Certificate

    Internationally recognised ROV operating technician certification under the IMCA scheme.

  • 02

    ROV High Voltage Competent ／ Awareness

    High-voltage system competence and hazard awareness — a prerequisite for deeper work scopes.

  • 03

    Hydrographic Survey background

    Formal survey training, so operational output feeds directly into engineering and mapping workflows.

HSE Record

Safety is not a slogan. It is a number that survives an audit.

07 ACCREDITATION SUPPORT

Taking a training centre through an IMCA audit.

Operating skill can be claimed by anyone; an audit only recognises systems and documentation. Shelter Subsea supported MTIC — the Maritime Technology Innovation Center — through the IMCA training centre audit, securing its authorisation to run ROV courses to international standard. That is the reason Taiwanese technicians no longer have to travel abroad to certify.

MILESTONE — MTIC IMCA TRAINING CENTRE AUDIT

Shelter Subsea × MTIC

Shelter Subsea supplied IMCA-certified instructors and helped MTIC build the course structure and operating procedures the audit demanded, working alongside their training facility and ROV simulators to complete the accreditation process.

  • Supplied IMCA-certified instructors
  • Built course structure and procedures to audit requirements
  • Audit passed — MTIC authorised to deliver IMCA ROV courses

What this demonstrates

  • Passing an IMCA audit proves competence at the systems and documentation level, not only at the operating level
  • The same standard can be applied to a client's own training scheme and operating procedures
  • For an operator, this is the most direct quality endorsement there is — we certify others
