The hull-cleaning instruction
The vessel's instruction was for hull cleaning at anchorage. The attendance included divers and workboats for the commissioned cleaning scope.
The owner's correspondence asked for a work-done report from the Master and evidence of the cleaning. This gave the attendance a clear reporting requirement alongside the cleaning scope.
Completion records for the vessel's team
SVC Marine delivered the work-done report and final invoice after the job. The owner also requested photographs and video evidence for review of the cleaning.
For a hull-cleaning enquiry, define the areas to be covered and how the work is to be recorded. Hull plating, sea chests and propeller work should be specified separately when they are requested; the scope and report should make the distinction clear.
Defining an underwater cleaning attendance
Send the vessel particulars, port or anchorage, ETA and available working window. Identify the hull areas to be cleaned, any requested underwater inspection and any separate propeller-polishing or sea-chest work.
Provide available photographs or earlier inspection records, the required reporting format and the vessel's onboard contact. Agree coating restrictions and local diving conditions with the cleaning scope.
