Navy
It is essential for any navy that their fleet is always in optimal condition and ready for operations. If a problem occurs or if maintenance work needs to be carried out, then this should be done within the shortest possible time frame.
In order to provide the customer with the fastest possible response, flexibility is essential throughout any repair or maintenance operation.
It is often necessary for solutions to difficult problems to be worked out in a short time period, sometimes even after an operation has already started. This can only be done successfully by people who have familiarity with such challenges and the relevant know-how to resolve all of the technical difficulties. This is why all Hydrex staff members around the world undergo stringent training, after which they are able to perform a wide range of operations. They can carry out both simple and complex jobs even in the harshest of circumstances and achieve the same high quality without unnecessary loss of time.
To be able to provide a large part of this training in-house and to offer the fastest possible service to customers, Hydrex offices have fast response centers where an extensive range of state-of-the-art logistics, tools and diving support equipment is available at all times for the Hydrex underwater teams. These fast response centers enable Hydrex to mobilize diver/technician teams immediately to all kinds of operations and perform underwater repair and maintenance work in a very tight time frame.

Hulls
With conventional anti-fouling paint systems the average hull roughness and consequently hull friction increases over the lifetime of a ship. This is due to several factors, the main one being the result of paint layer build-up every time the ship has to be repainted. On top of this, corrosion, cavitation and mechanical damage add to the roughness as does the accumulation of marine fouling on the underwater hull of the vessel. This last factor is especially significant for Navy ships where fouling inevitably builds up much faster during long idle periods in between operations.

Rudders
Ecospeed can be applied to any type of rudder and will provide it with an impenetrable protective layer. At the same time the coating's toughness and flexibility enable absorption of the forces that are produced by cavitation. This prevents the damage normally caused by this phenomenon.

Thruster tunnels
Ecospeed is ideally suited for thruster tunnel protection. The coating is both flexible and tough. It provides an impenetrable protective layer while its flexibility permits the absorption of the cavitation forces caused by the thruster’s propeller blades.

In-house developed underwater hull cleaning equipment
A complete set of complementary equipment was designed in-house to allow divers to clean the flat areas as well as the harder to reach parts of the hull without damaging the Ecospeed coating.
