Surveying the hull of a submarine with video recording

Our state-of-the-art underwater inspection services include detailed video recordings of your vessel's hull. Using advanced technology, we capture high-resolution footage to assess and document hull condition, providing a comprehensive overview of maintenance and repair planning.

One of the main advantages of this service is that it provides an opportunity to get an accurate and visual picture of the condition of the ship's hull, despite the fact that it is below the water level. High-resolution video recording technologies allow our specialists to study the bottom of the ship, identify potential damage, signs of corrosion and other inconsistencies that could affect the efficiency and longevity of the ship.

The survey of the hull of the submarine is carried out using professional underwater video cameras and equipment adapted to work in the aquatic environment. These recordings are made with high-resolution cameras, in 4K quality (3840 x 2160px), which provide a clear picture of the bottom of the ship, even if it is under deep water.

The essence of this service is that it enables the early identification of potential risks and the necessary improvements, preventing major damage and maintaining the ship's efficiency. This is an investment in the long-term maintenance of the ship and can significantly reduce the cost of major repairs and re-hulling in the future.

Overall, surveying the hull of a submarine with video recording is an irreplaceable service, providing a professional and modern approach to the maintenance and monitoring of sea vessels, helping to maintain their optimal technical condition.

Cleaning of the submarine hull with hydraulic devices and mechanisms

Submarine hull cleaning with hydraulic devices and mechanisms is a highly specialized service offered Divers of "Dronelab" SIA, to ensure efficient and complete maintenance and operation of ships. This service focuses on cleaning the bottom of the ship from pollution, as well as removing dirt and organisms accumulated in the upper parts of the water, using powerful hydraulic devices and mechanisms.

The hydraulic devices used in this service are specially designed to operate in water environments and provide high cleaning efficiency. These devices allow the precise and powerful movements necessary to remove or clean various contaminants such as stones, fish animals, and other deposits on the ship's hull.

The service is essential to prevent risks from biofouling, such as corrosion and other damage to the ship's structure. In addition, periodic cleaning of the bottom of the ship can significantly improve the ship's sea speed and reduce fuel consumption, providing more efficient transportation on the water.

Cleaning of the hull of the submarine with hydraulic devices and mechanisms is carried out in compliance with the highest safety standards. Our professional cleaners are experts in their field, which guarantees that the process is not only efficient, but also safe, with minimal impact on the marine environment.

In general, this service is an integral part of the comprehensive maintenance of ships, ensuring their optimal condition, longevity and economical operation on the water. Cleaning the hull of a submarine with hydraulic devices and mechanisms is a step towards a modern and efficient marine transport industry.

Submarine Kingston cleaning

Underwater Kingston cleaning is an essential service to offer Divers of "Dronelab" SIA, an underwater work crew to ensure the optimal operation of a marine vessel and maintain its efficiency. Kingstons are openings in the bottom of the ship that provide the necessary water flow for cooling the ship's engines and other vital operations, so it is vital to keep them clean and efficient.

The essence of this service is that Kingstons are often contaminated with marine organisms, algae, and other debris that can disrupt the normal flow of water and affect the operation of the ship. Underwater Kingston cleaning is done with specialized equipment that ensures precise and thorough cleaning to remove any obstructions in the way of the water.

Our experienced specialists use high-tech solutions and special technical devices to ensure effective and safe cleaning of Kingston stones. The use of these devices allows us to achieve precise results, ensuring that the Kingston stones are completely cleaned of any sediment and dirt.

By regularly cleaning Kingston, we help maintain the efficiency of the ship's engines and reduce the risk of corrosion caused by accumulated salts and dirt. This contributes not only to the optimal operation of sea transport, but also helps to maintain the technical health of the ship in the long term.

Underwater Kingston cleaning is an integral part of our comprehensive range of services that ensure your vessel is prepared for efficient and safe marine navigation. Trust Underwater Works to ensure your Kingstons are operating optimally and your ship continues to sail forward without a hitch.

Ship propeller polishing using hydraulic devices and mechanisms

Marine propeller polishing using hydraulic devices and mechanisms is a specialized service offered by Divers of "Dronelab" SIA, an underwater work crew to ensure optimum efficiency of marine transport and reduce vessel operating costs. This service focuses on cleaning and polishing the surface of the marine propeller using modern hydraulic devices that provide precise and powerful movements to achieve optimal results.

Propeller cleaning is essential to prevent fouling from accumulating on its surface, which can affect the ship's sea speed and fuel efficiency. With hydraulic devices and mechanisms, we provide fast and efficient propeller polishing, which helps to reduce hydrodynamic resistance and improve the overall efficiency of the ship.

Our specialists use high-tech hydraulic devices to perform precise movements to process the surface of the propeller. These devices allow us to achieve optimal smoothness and shine on the surface of the propeller, which in turn promotes optimal water flow and reduces energy losses due to dirt and corrosion.

By performing propeller polishing with hydraulic devices, we not only improve the ship's sea speed and efficiency, but also help prevent corrosion and maintain the integrity of the propeller in the long term. This is particularly important to reduce repair costs and ensure long-term vessel maintenance.

Underwater Works offers this highly specialized service with the aim of ensuring that your ship's propeller is in optimal condition for the efficiency and long-term operation of marine transport. Trust us to perform accurate and efficient propeller polishing using hydraulic devices and mechanisms, and enjoy improved ship performance at sea latitudes.
