Our ship husbandry
services include inspections, repairs, hull cleaning,
and propeller polishing. Since a ship owner is often
unable to observe the actual condition of the
below-water portion of his vessel between dry-dockings,
he may not know the true condition of his vessel or what
damage may be present.

Documented Ship Inspection
Our divers are well aware
of the many problems that can plague a vessel and are
able to accurately document a vessel’s condition and
provide a full written report accompanied by digital
video and/or digital still photography.
Underwater Repairs & Maintenance
If repairs or maintenance
are warranted, performing such tasks underwater can
often be far more economical than dry-docking. Some of
the services that we provide include rudder and
propeller maintenance, sacrificial anode replacement,
underwater cutting and welding, repairs within sea
chests, and transducer removal and replacement.
Propeller Polishing & Hull Cleaning
The most common response
to hull and/or propeller fouling is to increase the RPMs
of the engine to compensate for the reduction in
performance caused by marine fouling.
This has the effect of
not only increasing fuel consumption but also increasing
the wear on the engine and related components and, in
turn, reducing the service life of such equipment.
Our propeller polishing and hull cleaning services often
pay for themselves within the first voyage after such
service due to a significant decrease in overall fuel
consumption. This is especially true in the current
economic climate where petroleum prices have increased
substantially.
