In-house developed underwater hull cleaning equipment

Underwater maintenance of Ecospeed is carried out with specially designed underwater hull cleaning tools that simultaneously remove all fouling and optimize the smoothness of the paint surface.

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.  Sea chests and other nooks and crannies are best cleaned out using underwater high pressure water jet equipment. This combination makes it possible to have a 100% clean hull after each maintenance session, resulting in the best possible hydrodynamic condition of the underwater hull throughout the service life of the vessel and the removal of any potentially harmful invasive aquatic species which the ship may have picked up.

The Hydrex R&D department is constantly working on ways to improve the available underwater cleaning equipment even further. New versions of the tools are regularly put into practice to achieve an even faster cleaning rate without losing any of the quality.

Hydrex diver/technicians are specially trained to work with the latest versions of the underwater hull cleaning tools. This allows them to carry out underwater maintenance of the Ecospeed underwater hull coating in the shortest possible time frame. They are also trained to be flexible. The combination of these factors makes it very easy for them to adapt an underwater cleaning operation to the schedule of a ship.
