⚠️ Don’t let hull fouling compromise your vessel’s efficiency and safety. ⚠️

Regular hull inspections are essential for optimal performance, as part of drydock extension program, environmental compliance, and to observe damages and defects.

We offer fast, reliable, and cost-effective hull fouling inspections and provide high-quality images and data of your hull condition. Our offices can also assist with underwater cleaning and repair services, without the need for costly dry docking.

The year has just begun but our dive teams remain busy around the world 🌎

This time our team was called out to Algeciras, in the South of Spain for an emergency underwater seal exchange. By using our Flexdam system we were able to create the dry condition required for the repairs.

Our team successfully removed and cleaned the housing rings of the seal assembly, sealed the shaft, and thoroughly inspected the liner. The team then installed the new seals which were bonded and pressure tested.

Thorough measurements were taken before and after the overhaul, ensuring quality standards were met. If you have any questions or need assistance with similar projects, feel free to reach out.

🇧🇪 Our dive team was recently called out to a job in Antwerp, Belgium.

This time, the team was tasked with a seal overhaul. After an initial assessment and documentation of the current state the ropeguard was removed and the FlexDam, a special designed habitat to create a dry environment underwater, was installed.

Once this dry environment was established and secured the UWS technicians disassembled the seal housing, meticulously documenting all steps. The old seals showed unusual damage which was likely caused by a foreign object. After cleaning and evaluating the liner condition all seals were replaced by in-situ bonding of new liprings after which the housing and intermediate rings were re-assembled.

Upon completion of a successful pressure test the FlexDam was removed and ropeguard was re-installed. All operations were concluded in the vessel's planned operational port stay.

As we bid farewell to 2023, let's carry this spirit into the New Year, where new challenges await and fresh triumphs beckon.

Wishing everyone a joyful New Year filled with continued success, growth, and prosperity in 2024 🎉

Exchanging tunnel thrusters whilst afloat was once considered a special project for Wärtsilä Underwater Services. But with 20 years experience under our belts, this has now become more of a commodity service allowing vessel's to continue with an uninterrupted operating schedule.

The concept of a tunnel thruster is well proven by having a huge impact on improving manoeuvrability in port an thus contributing to overall safety. It is hard to find a vessel these days that does not have at least one tunnel thruster and when they are out of service you don't want to wait or go to drydock to get it fixed or replaced.

Another reminder on how innovation can add value and why we should never stop exploring...

In February, our diving team was deployed to the United Kingdom. Our services were required to allow internal repairs to be made on a Ferry. Our team secured the propeller shaft from the outside to allow for safe operations of the Wärtsilä internal FS team and to ensure no water ingress or oil spill could occur during the repair. Our diving team returned to the Netherlands after a successful testing phase of the repaired system.
