SOLUTIONS THAT KEEP THE VESSELS MOVING
Our diving teams support commercial vessels with underwater services that improve efficiency, support compliance, and help keep operations moving.
Hull Cleaning
Full hull cleaning from light slime to heavy barnacle and weed removal using rotary brush systems, ultra-high pressure water jetting, and hand tools — adapted to each coating type.
ROTARY BRUSH
UHP WATER JETTING
COATING-SAFE METHODS
PRE/POST SURVEY
Underwater Inspections
Detailed underwater assessment of hulls, appendages, and critical components, without unnecessary disruption to vessel operations.

Underwater Repairs
We deliver certified underwater inspections, welding, and structural repairs for hulls, propellers, rudders, thrusters, and appendages, without drydocking. With 24/7 emergency response for hull cracks and plate damage, our dive teams deliver permanent repairs using cofferdams and hyperbaric habitats, minimising off-hire and keeping vessels operational.

The Foundation of Vessel Performance
What happens below the waterline influences fuel efficiency, vessel speed, maintenance costs, and operational readiness. Regular underwater maintenance helps keep vessels performing at their best.
The Hidden Cost of Poor Vessel Maintenance
Regular underwater maintenance helps reduce operating costs, improve vessel performance, and maintain inspection readiness.
Without NAVITIDE
- Up to 40% higher fuel consumption
- Speed losses of 2-5 knots
- Higher maintenance & drydock costs
- Increased downtime risk
- Greater compliance exposure
With NAVITIDE
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Restored vessel performance
- Lower long-term operating costs
- Improved operational readiness
- Supports environmental compliance
Same Vessel, Very Different Performance
What accumulates below the waterline directly impacts fuel burn, speed, and operational efficiency. The difference is visible and measurable.
For every tonne of fuel saved through regular hull cleaning, approximately 3 tonnes of CO₂ emissions are avoided.
A well-maintained container vessel can reduce its annual CO₂ emissions by up to 8,000 tonnes through improved hull efficiency.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Every project represents our commitment to operational excellence, safety, and reliable execution in challenging maritime environments.
1. Which areas of a vessel can be cleaned underwater?
Depending on vessel condition and operational requirements, cleaning can cover the hull, sea chests, gratings, rudder, propeller and other accessible underwater appendages.
2. Can underwater hull cleaning be carried out without dry-docking?
Yes. Where port regulations, vessel condition and operating conditions permit, underwater cleaning can be performed while the vessel is afloat, helping avoid unnecessary dry-docking and associated downtime.
3. What information is required to arrange an underwater service?
Typically, we require the vessel name and type, port/location, ETA and ETD, scope of work, relevant vessel particulars, and details or photographs of any known damage or areas requiring attention.
4. How is safety managed during diving operations?
Each operation is planned according to the specific scope, vessel and site conditions. Appropriate risk assessments, diving procedures, equipment checks, communication arrangements and emergency measures are established before work begins.
5. Can underwater work be documented for the vessel owner or manager?
Yes, entire diving operation is well documented right from Permit to work and all the way to Customer Satisfaction document including but not limited to daily progress report along with CCTV recording before and after cleaning operations.
6. Can underwater cleaning and inspection be carried out during the same attendance?
Where conditions and the agreed scope permit, inspection and cleaning activities can be coordinated during the same attendance, reducing the need for multiple service visits.
7. Can NaviTide provide emergency or short-notice diving services?
Yes. NaviTide provides rapid-response commercial diving support for urgent underwater inspections, cleaning and repair requirements, subject to diver availability, port permissions, weather and safe operating conditions.
