POLLUTION CONTROL

Prompt response and ingenuity enable us to successfully salvage valuable resources - protecting the environment in the following ways:

• Removing potential threats before they can become problems
• Removing fuels and lubricating oils from vessels aground
• Flotation of vessels to prevent further pollution
• Saving cargo and equipment

PROPELLER POLISHING

A smooth, polished propeller will increase your vessel’s efficiency and improve fuel consumption.

Two advantages of polishing underwater are:

• Water cooled/lubricated abrasive pads are far faster to use than air-cooled abrasives and ensure a higher quality finish
• The machine creates a suction pressure on the blade surface and lies flat, ensuring a smooth, even finish - no gouges

A written report illustrated with "before" and "after" photographs is rendered after the job is complete and the condition of the propellers is assessed with a Rupert Gauge before and after polishing.

MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS

Our underwater maintenance tasks include:

• Hull cleaning using hydraulically driven two and three brush units
• Changing cathodic protection
• Provision of coffer dams for internal repair

Our staff have completed training courses at recognised educational institutions in these disciplines:

Their training is continuously updated to optimise use of the latest equipment and to ensure safety of everyone involved.

ADMINISTRATION

Our operational crews are supported by an efficient administrative team, utilising up to date office systems and technology. Client confidentiality is ensured, together with the submission of rapid reports and the retention of comprehensive records.
