Debmarine Namibia

Debmarine Namibia is Namibia’s leading marine diamond mining company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Namdeb Holdings (Pty) Ltd (a 50:50 joint venture between the Government of the Republic of Namibia and De Beers Group). It specialises in the exploration and recovery of diamonds from the seabed along Namibia’s southern coastline.

The company operates specialised vessels and advanced marine mining technology to extract diamonds from shallow marine environments. It is recognised as a world leader in marine diamond mining techniques, focusing on efficient and low-impact recovery methods in the surf zone and near-shore areas.

Debmarine Namibia places strong emphasis on environmental responsibility and sustainability. It maintains a strong 20-year environmental track record in shallow-water operations and actively invests in rehabilitation and marine ecosystem protection alongside its mining activities.

In addition to core mining operations, the company contributes to Namibia’s economy through job creation, skills development, and local procurement. It supports national development goals by responsibly harnessing one of the world’s richest marine diamond deposits.

Debmarine Namibia works closely with its parent company, Namdeb, to deliver long-term value to shareholders and stakeholders while upholding high standards of safety, environmental stewardship, and corporate responsibility.

Through continuous technological innovation and a commitment to sustainable practices, Debmarine Namibia plays a vital role in Namibia’s diamond industry and broader economic landscape.
