Valman Marine is a specialist marine contracting company based on Valentia Island, Co. Kerry, delivering comprehensive marine solutions throughout Ireland. While our foundations are built upon extensive commercial diving expertise, we are far more than a diving company. We provide a complete range of marine civil engineering, marine construction, vessel support, and specialist marine services to clients operating across the infrastructure, renewable energy, salvage, aquaculture, harbour, utility, and maritime sectors.

Founded and led by experienced commercial diver and marine contractor Mike Moriarty, Valman Marine combines practical marine knowledge with a hands-on approach to project delivery. Our team understands the unique challenges of working in marine environments and is committed to delivering safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions both above and below the waterline.

We support projects from initial planning and mobilisation through to completion, providing clients with a single contractor capable of managing multiple aspects of marine operations. By integrating vessel support, diving services, marine fabrication, and civil marine works under one company, we reduce project complexity and provide a streamlined service that delivers results.
