Ship Hull Cleaning and Surface Preparation
Ship Hull Cleaning and Surface Preparation services by DELUXE include high-pressure washing, ultra-high-pressure hydroblasting, robotic crawler-based coating removal and marine-grade coating applications. We help shipyards achieve efficient hull cleaning, superior surface preparation and faster turnaround times while maintaining industry standards.
Ship Hull Washing
High pressure washing is used on dry dock to clean the ship hull of marine growth and for pre inspection cleaning.
Normally high pressure pumps 500 bar / 1000 bar rated with specialized rotary nozzles or orbital nozzles are utilized.
Robotic crawlers can be used for the same application depending on the needs of the yard.
Ship Hull coating removal( WJ 2 / SA 2.5 )
Ship hull coating removal are performed on a dry dock for re-applying high performance coatings to improve fuel efficiency and reduce drag.
Ultra-high pressure water jetting ( Up to 40000 PSI ) using pneumatic or water driven rotary hand gun are used to deliver a production output of up to 5sq mtr per working hour per gun.
Robotic crawler based coating removal by hydroblasting
Shipyards have demanding timelines which call for automation to improve production speed and de-risk the process from waterjet hazards as well as from work at height.
The robotic crawler can deliver a production upto 30sq mtr /hr enabling a quantum jump in production speed for WJ2 standards
Coating Applications
Post removal of old coatings requirement of application of primer, Tiecoat and 3 -7 layers or marine grade coatings are applied to pre-specified DFT by use of airless spray painting machines.
DELUXE can assist with specialized paint application requirements like Silicon paint application on ship hulls as well.
