Service: Vessel in the water

Fouling is not dirt. It is drag.

Marine growth on the hull increases the vessel's resistance through water. More resistance means higher fuel burn, lower speed and schedule slippage. It is a cost that runs every single day, quietly, and does not show up in any report until it becomes a scheduling problem.

01 / 03

Up to 3%

of speed loss already indicates light hull fouling, according to the IMO biofouling guidelines.

02 / 03

20% to 25%

of extra fuel burned with half a millimetre of slime over half the hull. With barnacles, the IMO study reaches 55%.

03 / 03

No drydock

The entire service is performed with the vessel in the water, without taking the ship out of service.

What we do

Underwater maintenance and inspection for large tonnage vessels.

Propeller polishing, with the vessel still in the water

Hull cleaning

Removal of marine growth across the full wetted surface, restoring the hull's hydrodynamic performance.

Propeller polishing

Restoring the propeller finish, where efficiency loss is the most expensive per square metre.

See detail 03

Underwater inspection

Survey with video record and technical report, for insurance or maintenance decisions.

See detail 04

In-water repairs

Targeted interventions with no drydock.

Plugging, welding, sacrificial anodes, pipeline fiber jacket, among others

Why operators pick us

Four commitments we make before anyone enters the water.

Pre-operational planning

The operation is engineered up front, not improvised at the quay.

Rapid mobilization

Team and equipment ready to meet the vessel's window.

Zero-delay commitment

The vessel sails on time. The service adapts to the schedule, never the other way around.

High safety compliance

Commercial diving run under procedure, with every step on record.

Contract us directly, no middleman

You deal with the team that does the work. Payment goes straight into our account, without passing through the vessel's local marine agency. One less layer between the problem and the people who fix it, and a price that carries no third party commission.
