The Foundations of Underwater Ship Husbandry

Back to Basics

In this ever-evolving and fast-paced world, there is a constant appetite to achieve quicker results, better efficiency, more growth and bigger profits. This is especially true within the shipping and ship husbandry industries.
As technology advances, the capacity for global manufacturing increases, allowing for larger and larger vessels to be constructed at an exponential rate.
As our vast oceans become aggressively populated, so brings forth more obstacles to overcome and challenges to face.
In searching for solutions to mounting problems, it is beneficial to utilize creative and innovative strategies, however, it is also very much important to take a look back to the roots of the industry. This is valuable in maintaining the strong groundwork that has been built, while it is also helpful to incorporate a simpler perspective 

Let us take a step back to delve into the real heart of our work, highlighting the true foundations, and importance of underwater ship husbandry.

Navigating with Precision: The Power of Bow Thrusters

In the world of maritime navigation, precision and control are paramount. Whether you’re maneuvering through congested harbours or docking in tight quarters, the ability to command your vessel with confidence is essential. This is where thrusters emerge as indispensable tools for vessel operators seeking to elevate their seafaring experience.

Understanding Thrusters

Manoeuvring thrusters are transversal propulsion devices mounted at the Bow (Bow thruster) or Stern (Stern thruster) of a vessel. Unlike traditional propulsion systems, which primarily focus on forward or backward movement, thrusters are engineered to provide lateral thrust, enabling sideways movement. This lateral force, generated by propellers or impellers, empowers vessels to execute intricate maneuvers with finesse and accuracy. Thrusters may allow ships to dock without the aid of tugboats, saving costs of such services. Larger vessels may often have multiple Bow and Stern thrusters.

Exploring the Importance of Vessel Hull Coatings

Vessel hull coatings are a vital component in the maritime world. In this blog, we will dive deep into the world of hull coatings, exploring their significance, types, and the numerous advantages they bring to the maritime industry. Additionally, we will highlight the importance of proper coating assessments and inspections.

The Hull Coating’s Role

The hull of a ship is its first line of defence against the corrosive forces of the sea and hull coatings are the protective shield that keeps it intact.

Hull coatings is applicable for all vessel types and ages, with re-coating being carried out generally every fifth year (during dry dock).

With an expected price tag ranging from US$30,000 to US$500,000, this equates to a very costly paint job!
