Underwater Services

Underwater Welding & Cutting

Underwater welding and cutting are critical techniques in vessel repair and offshore engineering, widely used for structural restoration, emergency repairs, and maintenance of marine facilities. Supported by an established Underwater operation system and an experienced diving engineering team, we provide safe, reliable, and efficient underwater welding and cutting services for vessels and marine projects operating in East Africa and surrounding waters.

Underwater Propeller Repair

Underwater propeller repair is a critical service for maintaining propulsion efficiency and navigational safety. It addresses propeller deformation, damage, corrosion, and marine growth that occur during vessel operations. Performing repairs underwater helps avoid dry-docking, significantly reducing downtime and operational costs.

Hull Cleaning

Hull cleaning is a key component of vessel maintenance and energy-efficient operations. It involves the removal of marine growth, fouling, and deposits from underwater hull surfaces and critical components, helping to restore hull condition, reduce hydrodynamic resistance, and improve propulsion efficiency.

Scraping Bottom

Bottom scraping is a routine underwater maintenance service aimed at removing marine growth, shells, algae, and sediment from the vessel’s bottom. Timely bottom scraping helps prevent excessive fouling, reduces hydrodynamic resistance, improves propulsion efficiency, and lowers fuel consumption.

Underwater Visual Inspection

Underwater visual inspection is an essential part of vessel and offshore structure maintenance and safety management. It involves direct underwater observation by divers to quickly and effectively assess the overall condition of hulls and submerged structures. This inspection can be carried out while the vessel is alongside or at anchorage, without drydocking, significantly saving time and cost.

NDT Inspections

Bottom shell plate Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a critical method for assessing hull structural integrity and extending vessel service life, especially for ships operating in East African waters. The inspection provides accurate condition assessment without damaging the structure or interrupting vessel operations.
