Underwater Hull Cleaning
Unleash the Power of a Clean Hull with Diving Status
In the dynamic world of maritime transportation, maintaining a ship’s hull in pristine condition is paramount to achieving optimal performance and minimizing environmental impact. As a leading provider of underwater services, Diving Status specializes in providing comprehensive hull cleaning solutions that maximize your vessel’s efficiency and sustainability.
As the underwater surface of a ship comes into contact with marine life and organic debris, a layer of biofouling gradually forms, creating a drag that hinders the vessel’s movement and increases fuel consumption. With over four decades of expertise in underwater hull cleaning, Diving Status has established itself as a trusted partner for shipping companies worldwide. Our team of experienced underwater engineers, commercial divers, and inspectors possesses a deep understanding of the complexities involved in maintaining ship hulls. We approach each project with precision and dedication, ensuring that your vessel receives the highest quality cleaning services.
Diving Status provides specialized hull cleaning services according to the needs of every ship and the condition of its hull. We carefully assess the type of antifouling coating, the severity and extension of marine fouling, and the overall condition of your hull to determine the most effective and appropriate cleaning method.
In the field of non-abrasive brushing services, we boast approval from three major antifouling coating manufacturers. Employing the specialized 2nd Generation Brush-Kart, we cater to the unique needs of diving companies, port management organizations, shipping fleet management companies, and global ship maintenance and naval engineering firms. Our diverse range of brushes, thoughtfully designed to align with various biofouling types and hull antifouling coatings, guarantees a gentle yet remarkably effective fouling removal process, safeguarding the ship’s antifouling coating. To enhance our environmental commitment, our innovative hydraulic multi-brush systems incorporate rotating brushes for efficient hull cleaning, minimizing our ecological footprint. The outstanding efficiency of our hull cleaning system enables the removal of fouling with a thickness of up to 150mm in a single, seamless pass.
We provide an innovative and environmentally friendly solution for underwater hull cleaning by introducing the ECOHULLCLEAN system. This innovative system introduces a capture and filtration mechanism designed to efficiently capture, separate, and manage biofouling, aligning with the latest guidelines set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the industry standards outlined by the Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO). Dive into the future of sustainable hull cleaning practices, promoting environmental responsibility and compliance with industry regulations.
For areas above the waterline, we employ high-pressure water jets to remove barnacles, algae, and other marine growth, restoring the hull’s surface to its original condition. This method is particularly effective for cleaning all the above-the-waterline hard-to-reach areas.
Our specialized techniques ensure the thorough cleaning of box coolers, removing debris and biofouling that can impair their efficiency and contribute to increased fuel consumption. This process helps to maintain the optimal performance of your vessel’s cooling system.
Bow thrusters play a crucial role in maneuvering large vessels, and their efficient operation is essential for safety and efficiency. We provide meticulous cleaning of bow thrusters, removing biofouling and debris that can hinder their performance and increase fuel consumption.
Every underwater hull cleaning service we provide is accompanied by a detailed underwater inspection, according to latest IMO guidelines & Australian Biofouling Management Requirements. We meticulously assess the condition of the ship’s hull, identifying any areas of concern that may require further attention.
Diving Status provides its customers with comprehensive reporting on underwater hull cleaning results, assessed according to latest IMO guidelines & Australian Biofouling Management Requirements. Our detailed reports, complete with before-and-after hull condition facts and data, provide you with a comprehensive overview of the work performed and the resulting benefits.
