SG SALVAGE – New Website



To mark the rebranding of our Commercial Diving Department, we have relaunched the SG SALVAGE website to demonstrate better to our valued clients the support and services we can offer.

SG SALVAGE (part of the Sovereign Global (SG) Group) has been supplying Commercial Diving and Offshore Support Services in Djibouti and the surrounding Horn of Africa since 1999.  Over these years, SG has built strong and trusting relationships with local businesses, shipowners and Djiboutian Authorities, enabling us to complete even the most difficult and complex tasks on time and on budget. 

With Djibouti being a strategic hub in the region we are able to serve customers in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Yemen through our local offices.

Our unique position within the Djiboutian market, and the fact that we are the only professional commercial diving company in the country, has given us an in-depth understanding of the local business infrastructure & nuances, allowing us to develop efficient and cost-effective processes to get the job done with maximum client satisfaction. 

Quality service and customer satisfaction have always been our main aim, and to ensure this we invest heavily in our Quality Management System which has been ISO 9001:2015 certified since 2014.

With over 1800 vessels per year calling at Djibouti, an average of 43 vessels a day, we offer comprehensive packages for shipping clients including offshore support services, underwater inspection, hull cleaning, hull maintenance and search & recovery of lost items.  We also specialise in marine salvage, having recently removed a 400-ton wreck from a Djiboutian Port, and re-sinking it to make an artificial reef, helping to protect the rich and diverse marine ecosystem that exists around the Gulf of Tadjourah.
