Work that reflects how we operate

Marine cleaning problems repeat in patterns — a cargo pair that fights the coating, a window too short for the holds, a defect found too late to fix before sailing. These are the patterns we plan around.

Hold cleaning — riding crewSupramax bulk carrier
The problem
Five holds carrying petcoke residue, with a grain-clean requirement at the next load port and only a six-day ballast passage available.
What we did
An eight-person riding crew joined at the discharge port and worked the holds in sequence across the passage, sweeping and washing forward-to-aft so completed holds had maximum drying time.
Result
All five holds presented and passed at the load port with no commercial time lost to cleaning.
About this service
Tank cleaning — CPP grade changeMR product tanker
The problem
Grade change from gasoil into jet fuel, with a wall wash requirement and a coating system approaching the end of its service life.
What we did
Cycle programme planned against the cargo pair, machine washing followed by manual finishing of bellmouths, coils and structural shadows, then drying and testing before presentation.
Result
Tanks presented to the inspector with the coating limitation identified and communicated in advance rather than discovered at test.
About this service
Hull cleaning & propeller polishingPanamax container ship
The problem
Extended period at anchorage in warm water had produced heavy fouling on the flat bottom and calcareous growth on the propeller.
What we did
Brush cart cleaning of the full underwater hull with hand work on niche areas, followed by staged propeller polishing to a Class A mirror finish. Carried out at anchorage over two working days.
Result
Hull and propeller returned to a smooth condition without off-hire, with before-and-after video issued for the technical file.
About this service
Offshore — charter turnaroundPlatform supply vessel
The problem
Off-charter to on-charter window of under three days, covering mud and brine tanks, cargo deck degreasing and accommodation presentation.
What we did
Deck, tank and accommodation scopes run in parallel by a single team, with line and pump flushing included so cross-contamination did not reappear from the system.
Result
Vessel presented for on-hire inspection inside the window with observations rectified on the spot.
About this service
NDT inspection & riding fabricatorHandysize bulk carrier
The problem
Thickness gauging in ballast tanks identified wasted plating and cracked brackets requiring rectification ahead of a class survey.
What we did
Certified NDT technicians quantified the wastage, then riding fabricators cropped and renewed the affected plating under class-approved procedures and hot-work permit.
Result
Repairs NDT tested and presented to the attending surveyor within the same mobilisation, avoiding a second contractor call-out.
About this service
Demucking & gas-freeingCrude oil tanker
The problem
Heavy compacted sludge around bellmouths and heating coils requiring removal before a gas-free-for-hot-work certificate could be pursued.
What we did
Rotating teams worked under full enclosed-space entry regime with continuous monitoring and manned rescue standby, with residues quantified and landed to an approved facility.
Result
Tanks cleared and washed down, with independent certification arranged separately as the correct next step.

Capability

Every service line, one mobilisation

Most of our work is multi-scope. Cleaning, inspection and repair delivered together removes the handover delays that dominate a timeline when trades are split across contractors.
