Underwater Cleaning and Diving Report for Vessels in Vietnam
Underwater cleaning is commonly required when marine growth, fouling, barnacles or slime affect vessel performance, fuel consumption, cooling water flow, hull condition or charter readiness. For a useful UWC job, owners and managers normally need more than divers cleaning underwater. They need clear before-and-after records, practical comments and a proper diving report.
SVC Marine provides underwater cleaning and reporting for commercial vessels in Vietnam, including bulk carriers, general cargo vessels, container vessels, tankers, tugboats, barges, offshore support vessels and project cargo vessels.
03
Typical UWC Scope
The underwater cleaning scope depends on vessel type, fouling level, owner requirement, port permission, current, visibility and safe diving condition. A typical UWC attendance may include:
Propeller polishing is one of the most important underwater services for vessels affected by fouling or rough propeller surface. A fouled propeller can reduce propulsion efficiency, increase vibration risk and contribute to higher fuel consumption depending on operating condition.
SVC Marine can perform propeller polishing for vessels in Vietnam and provide photo or video evidence before and after completion. The diving team checks the stern area, propeller condition, current, visibility and safety condition before starting the work.
- Initial underwater inspection before cleaning
- Hull fouling condition check
- Underwater cleaning by machine or manual tools where suitable
- Propeller polishing
- Rudder and stern area cleaning
- Sea chest external cleaning
- Draft mark cleaning if required
- Photo records before cleaning
- Photo records after cleaning
- Underwater CCTV or video records
- Diving report after completion
- Propeller Polishing
04
Before-and-After Photographs
Before-and-after photographs are useful for owners, managers, charterers and superintendents because they show the actual condition before cleaning and the result after completion. This reduces argument over work scope and gives the vessel team a practical record for maintenance file, performance review or charter requirement.
For UWC jobs, SVC Marine can provide photographs of the hull, propeller, rudder, sea chest area, cleaned sections and any visible abnormal condition found during underwater attendance.
05
Underwater CCTV and Video Records
Underwater CCTV or video recording helps owners and managers review the underwater condition without relying only on written comments. Video records are useful for checking fouling level, propeller condition, cleaned areas, visible damage, anode condition and underwater work completion.
For selected jobs, SVC Marine can provide underwater CCTV videos, short video clips, propeller polishing records and diving report files for the owner’s technical review.
06
Why UWC Reporting Matters
A proper underwater cleaning report helps the owner understand what was inspected, what was cleaned, what condition was found and whether any further repair or drydock attention is recommended.
Without clear reporting, a UWC job can become difficult to verify. This is especially important when the vessel is under charter pressure, facing performance complaints, preparing for voyage, waiting at anchorage, or checking underwater condition before drydock.
07
Shipowners and managers may request underwater cleaning when the vessel has:
- Long idle period at anchorage
- Heavy marine growth on hull
- Speed loss
- Higher fuel consumption
- Rough or fouled propeller
- Sea chest fouling or cooling water concern
- Charterer requirement before loading or voyage
- Pre-drydock or post-repair underwater check
- Need for underwater CCTV and diving report
08
Diving Safety Requirements
Underwater cleaning and diving work must be planned with strict safety control. Before attendance, SVC Marine checks the working window, vessel location, weather, tide, current, visibility, port restriction, vessel movement risk and diver access condition.
The vessel should confirm safe access, crew support, diver watch, clear communication, propeller and thruster isolation where applicable, and no suction, discharge or machinery movement that may endanger divers during the job.
09
