Underwater Hull Monitoring

The part of the ship nobody sees is the easiest to compromise. We carry out the underwater inspection of the hull with the vessel berthed or anchored, checking whether packages or devices are attached to the underwater hull and assessing the condition of the propeller, rudder, bow thruster, sea chests and sacrificial anodes.

Our divers run the sweep to a systematic pattern, covering the hull from bow to stern with a dedicated surface team and permanent communication with the ship. The whole inspection is recorded: the underwater video and photography are handed to the client together with the technical report issued by Clean Ship.

The operation follows our own dive plan and meets the rules applicable to the activity — the Brazilian Directorate of Ports and Coasts rules for diving and NR-15, annex 6, for work under hyperbaric conditions. The inspection can be scheduled before berthing, before departure from port, or called at any moment when there is a suspicion.
