The hull-cleaning instruction
The vessel's instruction was for hull cleaning. SVC Marine arranged the attendance at anchorage, with support boats and divers forming part of the job arrangements.
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 subsequently sent the final invoice and work-done report in the job close-out correspondence. The requested photo and video evidence was part of the owner's review of the work.
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 contact for coordination. Discuss coating-related restrictions and local attendance conditions before agreeing the cleaning scope.
