Breakwater Offshore Services & Investments (Pty) Ltd has secured full International Standards Organisation (ISO) certification, strengthening its position as a locally owned service provider in Namibia’s growing offshore oil, gas and maritime sectors.

The company has been awarded ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety.

The certifications, issued by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), are valid from 25 March 2026 to 24 March 2029 and cover the company’s full range of offshore marine support services.

These include anchor handling, towing operations, standby support, subsea engineering assistance, offshore supply and logistics, as well as bunkering and refuelling at sea.

Breakwater said the certification confirms compliance with international standards in safety, quality and environmental management as activity in Namibia’s offshore energy sector accelerates.

The company operates its own offshore fleet, including the AHTS Atlantic Ranger and OSV Sakawe Surveyor, supporting exploration, survey and production operations.

It is also the only Namibian-owned company holding a Document of Compliance issued by DNV, with the support of the Directorate of Maritime Affairs on behalf of the Namibian flag state. The certification confirms that its safety management systems meet the requirements of the International Safety Management Code.

In addition to ISO certification, Breakwater complies with key international maritime standards, including the International Safety Management Code, Safety Management Certification, the Maritime Labour Convention (2006) and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code.

Managing director Peter-John Sylvester said the milestone reflects the company’s focus on operational discipline and international standards.

“Achieving full ISO certification is a significant milestone. It reflects the systems and standards we have implemented to ensure safe, efficient and responsible operations,” he said.

The development comes as Namibia expands its offshore oil and gas industry, with increasing emphasis on local content and in-country capacity.

Breakwater said the certification enhances its ability to support international operators while contributing to skills development and the localisation of offshore services.

The company operates from Lüderitz and Walvis Bay, providing marine and logistics support to the energy and maritime sectors.
