U-SEADIVING provides high-quality in-water cleaning services for hulls, propellers, rudders, sea chests and gratings across major Turkish ports.
Our operations help reduce fuel consumption, improve vessel performance and support IMO biofouling and environmental compliance.
U-SEADIVING provides a complete range of professional underwater cleaning services designed to restore hull efficiency and maintain vessel performance. Our certified commercial divers use hydraulic brush systems and controlled cleaning methods suitable for different coating types and fouling conditions.
All cleaning operations are performed with attention to coating protection and environmental responsibility, in line with IMO biofouling management principles.
Underwater hull cleaning of flat bottom areas
Underwater cleaning of vessel sides from waterline to keel
Removal of marine growth, algae, barnacles and biofouling
Cleaning of curved hull sections, including bulbous bow and bilge areas
Underwater rudder cleaning to improve steering performance
Underwater propeller cleaning and polishing to restore propulsion efficiency
Sea chest cleaning and sea grating cleaning to ensure proper seawater flow
U-SEADIVING performs underwater cleaning operations using advanced hydraulic brush systems designed to deliver effective results while protecting the vessel’s coating. Our equipment allows precise control of contact pressure, ensuring safe cleaning across different antifouling paint types and hull conditions.
Depending on the level of fouling and surface condition, our teams select appropriate cleaning tools such as nylon, stainless steel or wire brushes. This controlled approach enables efficient removal of marine growth, algae and barnacles without causing unnecessary coating damage.
Flat bottom areas
Vertical hull sides
Curved sections and bilge areas
Rudders and skegs
Propeller blades (pre-polishing preparation)
Sea chests and sea gratings
All operations are supported by diver-to-surface communication, visual inspection before and after cleaning, and full photo/video documentation for technical records
U-SEADIVING performs underwater cleaning operations in alignment with international environmental guidelines and modern maritime efficiency standards. Proper management of hull biofouling is a key factor in reducing fuel consumption, lowering emissions and supporting vessel environmental performance.
Our cleaning practices are developed in line with IMO biofouling management principles and in-water cleaning guidance. By controlling cleaning pressure, using appropriate tools and applying environmentally responsible methods, we help minimize the release of harmful substances while maintaining coating integrity.
Regular underwater hull cleaning, propeller cleaning, and niche area cleaning contribute to improved hydrodynamic efficiency, reduced drag and better fuel performance. These improvements support shipowners in meeting environmental performance targets and maintaining efficient vessel operations.
All operations are documented with photo and video records, which can support technical reviews, environmental documentation and performance monitoring.
U-SEADIVING provides professional underwater hull cleaning services to remove marine growth, algae, barnacles and biofouling from vessel hull surfaces. Regular hull cleaning reduces hydrodynamic resistance, lowers fuel consumption and helps maintain coating life.
Our services include cleaning of flat bottom areas, vertical hull sides, curved sections, rudders and other external hull structures using controlled hydraulic brush systems designed to protect antifouling coatings.
U-SEADIVING also delivers specialized underwater cleaning for propulsion and intake systems. Our divers perform propeller cleaning and polishing, sea chest cleaning, sea grating cleaning and niche area cleaning to ensure proper water flow and optimal propulsion efficiency.
These operations help reduce vibration, improve vessel performance and support compliance with IMO biofouling and environmental management guidelines.
