Project Location: Sierra Leone
Service Scope: Underwater Hull Scraping
A vessel operating in a Sierra Leonean port experienced heavy marine growth on the underwater hull during its service period, resulting in reduced speed and increased fuel consumption. The shipowner required an effective solution to restore vessel performance without dry-docking.
Based on the vessel’s condition, Sierra Leone Underwater Service Limited developed a tailored underwater hull scraping plan. Our experienced diving team deployed professional underwater tools to thoroughly remove marine growth from the hull bottom, bilge areas, and other critical underwater sections.
Before Operation: Significant marine growth and sediment accumulation were observed on the hull, with severe fouling in certain areas.
After Operation: The underwater hull surface was visibly cleaned, marine growth was effectively removed, and hydrodynamic performance was significantly improved.
The operation was carried out safely and efficiently without disrupting the vessel’s schedule. Upon completion, propulsion efficiency was enhanced and fuel consumption risks were reduced, earning high satisfaction from the shipowner.
