Mubarak has released a new brand film that reflects the reality of working at sea, and the people who keep operations moving when conditions are far from ideal.

Titled ‘The ones who keep these waters moving,’ the film focuses on the individuals behind the work, across yards, vessels, offshore, and below the surface. It captures a simple truth: these waters do not always move easily, and at times, they do not move freely. But they still move. Because behind every delay, diversion, and pressure point, there are teams solving, adjusting, and responding in real time. Not waiting for conditions to improve but working with what is.

The film is grounded in how Mubarak has operated since 1979. A responsibility to the sea. To the people who work it. And to the nation that depends on it. Rather than focusing on scale or capability, the film highlights mindset. The discipline to continue. The experience to adapt. And the commitment to deliver continuity when it matters most.

At a time when regional routes face increasing pressure, the message is clear: continuity is not a given. It is delivered. The film closes with Mubarak’s brand line, reinforcing its role across the region: Mubarak. Navigators of the blue economy.

Mubarak Marine is pleased to announce that the Overall Management Committee of IMCA (International Marine Contractors Association) has approved the induction of Mubarak Marine in its Middle East and India Section with participation in the Marine Division as a world-wide Contractor Member. Mubarak Marine has been operating in the offshore support industry for more than three decades, operating a diverse fleet of marine and offshore support vessels (barges, tugs, LCT). IMCA is the international trade association representing offshore, marine and underwater engineering companies. The IMCA membership will allow us to embrace the IMCA competence framework to complement our existing in house competence scheme to demonstrate competence in safety-critical positions – something very vital for the offshore industry. The participation will enable us to better fulfill the ever growing demands and requirements of our clients.

Mubarak Marine has signed a long-term partnership agreement with Dubai Maritime City to develop an industrial complex for maritime services, shipbuilding and repair worth $35m.

The complex will enable Mubarak Marine to establish their headquarters as well as a workshop and maintenance facility. The project area, located within the Marine District of DMC covers a total of 106 hectares of pre-built industrial space, ship repair and building plots, yacht repair and manufacturing plots, retail units, offices and shipyard facilities.

“We are delighted that a well-known company such as Mubarak Marine has chosen decided to further their operations from the city, this will definitely fuel the growth of the repair and maintenance sector and also direct attention to the important role played by the city in facilitating maritime activity both regionally and globally,” said Khamis Juma Buamim, chairman of Drydocks World and Maritime World.

For more than three decades, we have carried out salvage and wreck removal services across the Middle East, the Red Sea, and the coasts of India and east Africa. Whenever an emergency arises, our rapid and effective response helps to protect lives, assets, and the marine environment.

In recent years, the salvage and wreck removal industry has made significant strides in adopting sustainable practices. At Mubarak Marine, we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement in the region, prioritising more eco-friendly salvage operations to minimise environmental impact and promote sustainability. Our commitment to reducing pollution is evident through our increased use of biodegradable materials, as we shift towards substances that decompose naturally, ensuring marine life is unharmed.

We prioritise careful planning and execution to ensure that fuel and other hazardous materials are contained and safely removed. This prevents spills, contamination, and minimises the environmental impact on the marine ecosystem. As the only full member of the International Salvage Union in the region, partnerships with environmental and regulatory bodies are a cornerstone of our sustainable operations. These collaborations enable us to monitor environmental impact rigorously and ensure compliance with best practices.

Mubarak Marine was in full attendance to year 2014 Marine Ball. The evening saw a special highlight on the salvage industry aptly named as the ‘Saviors of the Sea’ as appearing on the invitation cards of this truly grand gathering. Capt.Vivek Bali of Mubarak Marine shared his personal experiences of the number of ships salvaged by him. The guests were in awe of the destructive power of the sea and the great risks to life and property, and the challenges that were involved in saving them by Mubarak Marine’s salvage team led by Capt.Bali.The much awaited Maritime auction and Whiteboard bidding saw Mubarak Marine in action having won the coveted large sized model of the passenger ship Titanic. The proceeds of the auction will go to The Mission to Seafarers. Piracy, shipwreck, abandonment and separation from loved ones are just a few of the problems merchant seafarers face around the world. The Mission to Seafarers provides help and support to the 1.5 million men and women who face danger every day to keep our global economy afloat. The mission was founded in 1856 and is entirely funded by voluntary donations.

Mubarak Marine has become a full member of the International Salvage Union (ISU) with unanimous election by the current membership of the Union and also makes it the first ISU member from the Middle East.
