Underwater Services for Vessels in Vietnam

SVC Marine arranges underwater service support for vessels requiring hull, propeller and underwater area maintenance without drydocking, subject to port approval, weather condition, diver availability and vessel operational schedule.

• Propeller Polishing (PP) – cleaning and polishing propeller blades to reduce surface roughness, marine growth and performance loss.
• Underwater Inspection (UWI) – underwater visual inspection of hull, propeller, rudder, sea chest, anodes and related underwater fittings.
• Underwater Cleaning (UWC) – underwater hull cleaning, propeller cleaning, sea chest cleaning and selected underwater maintenance support.
• Photo and Video Reporting – underwater evidence for owners, managers, charterers, class, P&I or internal technical review.
• Port and Agency Coordination – coordination with vessel, agent, port authority, diving team and technical superintendent.

Why Propeller Polishing Matters

Propeller surface condition directly affects vessel propulsion efficiency. Marine growth, roughness, deposits and fouling on propeller blades can increase resistance, reduce thrust efficiency and contribute to higher fuel consumption, vibration or poor vessel performance.

Propeller polishing is a practical maintenance option for vessels trading under tight schedules, especially when the vessel cannot enter drydock immediately but still requires underwater performance improvement or inspection support.

Typical Scope of Work

• Pre-job coordination with vessel master, chief engineer, owner, manager and local agent.
• Review of vessel position, draft, anchorage/berth condition and underwater service feasibility.
• Arrangement of approved diving team and required underwater tools.
• Propeller blade cleaning and polishing as per agreed scope.
• Underwater inspection of hull, propeller, rudder, sea chest, anodes and other requested areas.
• Photo/video recording before, during and after the job.
• Completion report for owner, manager or technical department.
