Underwater Services: overview
Organisation of underwater inspection, cleaning and the necessary maintenance and repair works for the submerged areas of vessels. Work on the hull, propeller, rudder and related underwater equipment is planned and carried out according to the vessel's operational status and the scope of work.
Submerged areas such as the hull, propeller and rudder need regular checks for fuel efficiency, manoeuvrability and the vessel's overall condition. Underwater work makes it possible to assess condition and plan the necessary action without dry-docking the vessel.
