Kristiansand Dykkeservice is specialized in underwater services for ships.
Our team consists of craftsmen in several selected disciplines performing services throughout the Norwegian coastline. We are determined to be the preferred supplier of underwater services in Norway, for all maritime vessels.
Wessel repairs
Our high quality technical underwater repair solutions are performed on almost any type of maritime wessel.
Some of the repairs we can provide:
- In water propeller repairs
- Welded crack repairs
- Rudder repairs
- Bilge keel cropping
- Rudder repairs
- Underwater welding, cropping, grinding, and profiling
If there is uncertainty about whether the ship needs repairs, it may be worthwhile to start with an inspection.
Underwater inspection
By assessing the hull condition and observing the condition of the antifouling paint we can report the underwater status of the ship. The report will help planning maintenance and give and overview of the wessel current state.
If the wessel is in need of repairs or other services, we can provide a quote to get the job done.
Hull cleaning and propeller polishing
With a large degree of deterioration on the hull and propeller, fuel efficiency will decrease.
According to IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC63), deterioration in hull & propeller performance accounts for 10% of world-fleet fuel costs and GHG emissions. Therefore, investing in underwater services will greatly reduce emissions and cost.
Our methods are adapted to the antifouling coating, -and marine fouling type, so we can choose the least aggressive method of cleaning, and still effectively remove the fouling.
We can clean most types of marine wessel, such as clean flat Bottom, vertical sides, sea chest grids rudder and all niche areas such as bilge keels, Dock keel blocks, and so on.
We use polish to clean propellers for barnacles, tubeworms, and similar deposits. By applying gentle methods and chemicals to clean the propellers, we greatly reduce the environmental impact. A polished propeller will also perform at a higher rate, and therefore reduce emissions.
