Professional Underwater Services
Designed to maintain operational efficiency and reduce vessel downtitime accross the Starit of Gibraltar
Hull Cleaning
Professional underwater Eco hull cleaning to improve vessel performance and reduce fuel consumption. Safe removal of marine growth without damaging coatings.
Propeller Polishing
Precision polishing to optimise propulsion Fuel efficiency, reduce vibration, and restore hydrodynamic performance to specification.
Underwater Inspections
Certified underwater inspections with detailed visual reporting for maintenance, surveys, and flag-state compliance requirements.
Underwater Repairs
Corrective underwater interventions carried out safely and efficiently — no operational interruption, no dry dock required.
Hull Cleaning & Propeller Polishing
Hull Cleaning
Marine biofouling increases hull resistance and fuel consumption significantly. SHRIMP’s certified divers perform thorough, coating-safe analyze and cleaning operations that restore vessel efficiency immediately — without port delays.
- Removal of barnacles, algae, and biofilm
- Compatible with all anti-fouling coatings & Silicon
- Pre- and post-intervention photo and Video documentation
- Compliant with port environmental regulations
Propeller Polishing
Even minor propeller surface degradation results in measurable efficiency loss. Precision polishing restores blade finish to class specification, reducing shaft vibration and fuel burn in a single port call.
- Underwater polishing to Ra A ≤ 3.2 µm finish
- Vibration and cavitation fuel reduction
- Full reporting for owner and class records
- Fast turnaround — typically within hours
Inspections. Repairs. Documentation.
Certified operations with full reporting keeping your vessel compliant, seaworthy, and on schedule.
Underwater Inspections
Visual and close-up surveys conducted by certified commercial divers, with HD video and photographic records. Suitable for class society submissions, P&I requirements, and owner-ordered condition assessments and bio fouling records.
Cathodic Protection Survey
Measurement and assessment of sacrificial anodes and ICCP systems. Replacement of depleted anodes performed in situ without vessel repositioning or dry dock scheduling.
Underwater and over water Repairs
Structural and mechanical interventions, blanking and cofferdam placement, valve and pipe replacement, shell plate repairs by welding and cutting — Propeller repairs all executed without interrupting
