Underwater Hull Monitoring

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

Vessel provides professional divers and the surface team that carries out a systematic sweep of the hull, with underwater video and photography handed to the client at the end of the operation — before berthing, before departure or whenever there is a suspicion.

Diving is carried out with a work plan, a dedicated surface team and communication with the ship, observing the requirements applicable to the activity (Brazilian Directorate of Ports and Coasts rules for diving and NR-15, annex 6, for work under hyperbaric conditions). The technical report, any docking decision and the alerting of authorities remain the client's responsibility.
