We provide Biofouling Inspection Reports in compliance with NZ MPI Craft Risk Management Standard (CRMS) for biofouling on vessel intending to go to New Zealand

Hull cleaning: SY before race, Domestic MV before dry-docking
General information
The surface covered by sea adherence is about 80% of total ship hull. Besides preventing direct surveying, sea adherence causes a decrease of ship’s speed and consequently augments CONSUMPTION of FUEL.
No matter the nature of biofouling and its thickness: we remove everything!
For inaccessible areas we operate water blaster equipment with a range of underwater wash jets and nozzles PAINT SAFE able to remove any kind of encrustations from light fouling to acorn barnacles and mussels.
Allows cleaning a ship from sea adherence without the use of an expensive dry dock.
In this case it would be possible to clean a ship much more often, for example, at least twice a year, before having to many worms, barnacles and... Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS).
Even in the case when it is necessary to make inspection, repair or restoration of a protective coat of a ship in a dry dock, it would be possible to make a ship's hull cleaning out of a dry dock first, which would allow using dry dock more efficiently.
Everyone involved in shipping is well aware about the issues regarding Non-Indigenous Marine Species and authorities power which may result in the vessel's entry banned in territorial waters or harbours.
We implement self-propelled mechanical underwater cleaning machines with rotating tools (used in conjunction with smaller mechanical tools):
A vessel's fuel performance usually begins decreasing after six months from dry-dock and continues to decrease rapidly.
Underwater marine growth, barnacles, and/or sea grass can cost a ship-owner millions of extra dollars in time and fuel costs each year.
To prevent spending additional money for fuel, a ship should be cleaned twice a year.
Vessels must clean their hull less than 30 days prior to arrival to New Zealand Territory.
More generally, US Navy PROPELLER cleaning is recommended up to 6 times a year and HULL cleaning is recommended up to 3 times a year.
