All wooden boxes/pallets must be fumigated before shipping (and marked with the related country’s fumigation stamp). Spare parts arriving Egyptian airports which are not stored in fumigated wooden boxes/pallets and without the fumigation stamp on the wooden box/pallet will be rejected by agriculture quarantine authority and subject to immediate re-export to place of origin for your own account.

Maintenance & Repair

Hull Inspection & Cleaning

Our expert divers use approved and patented hull surface cleaning machines that are globally recognized as the most effective means to recuperate vessels performance and service speed. Advance cleaning techniques and equipment ensure that no damage is caused to the most delicate of anti-fouling systems, such as silicone and other soft-coated paints.

Marine Environmental Protection

We take environmental protection seriously. The benefits of hull cleaning on vessel performance are well recognised, but greater fuel efficiency is not our only environmental concern. We are also 100% committed to protecting the Marine Environment and over the past 50 years have developed a unique approach to hull cleaning that ensures minimal ecological impact.

Our tried and tested hull cleaning machinery adheres to the hull via the intense suction force created by its central impeller which also directs fouling through its impeller tunnel and therefore destroys harmful invasive marine species. The debris is then converted into a fine residue which is safely returned to the sea as sand ultimately limiting the impact to the local marine environment.

These machines are designed to clean major submerged hull areas and in the expert hands of Scamp divers will reduce underwater cleaning times significantly proving to be much more efficient and practical than any debris collecting system reducing ships commercially inactive periods to a minimum.

Additional services US Marine Service include BUNKER QUANTITY VERIFICATION SURVEY & BUNKER DETECTIVE SURVEY for clients.

We specialize in Hull & Machinery Inspection – Repair

Hull survey methods, are means and procedures to detect failure and damage at an early stage to avoid premature breakdown.

Hull survey methods are therefore not only comprehensive means of detecting deficiencies or monitoring structural condition, but also of defining schemes for inspection between the last overhaul and before the occurrence of failure.

Means of detection of defects and condition monitoring are inter alia:

  • Visual inspections
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) and calibrating
  • Examination of tightness, function and centre of gravity
  • Measurements of thickness, vibration

Schemes of inspection are periodical survey requirements which by virtue of design and operational experience are envisaged to discover deficiencies completely and early enough before they may lead to breakdown.

Integrative Procedures

Visual Inspection

A major part of hull surveying work is carried out using visual skills to perform the examinations and to arrive at an opinion on the state of a vessel’s condition.

Such visual examinations can be carried out as:

  • Over-all inspections, a general sighting of a vessel’s hull condition, followed by
  • Close-up examinations at
  1. Locations where discontinuities, ruptures or deformations have been found and
  2. Certain hull structures as stipulated by rules and/or requirements, for instance in way of cargo area of oil tanks.
  • Examination of areas of suspected crack and corrosion concentration.

Docking inspection

When a vessel is dry-docked, attention has to be focused on:

  • Discovery of deformations and/or discontinuities along keel plates, bottom, and side plates, bilge keels, and attachments,
  • Checks for leakages from inside to outside, if the ballast
  • Tanks have overflow prior to this inspection,
  • Removal of the drain plug at the rudder blade. If water leaks out this is an indication that the blade has suffered water ingress (which may otherwise have remained hidden);
  • Measurement of rudder bearing clearances by feelers can also be considered a visual approach to assess wear-down. Ditto calibration of anchor chain links by caliper slide,
  • Condition of rudder flange; bolts or nut(s) must be absolutely tight;
  • Condition of welding at seams and butts and in way of outlet openings.

Use the slider to compare the before and after photos

Dry-docking intervals are to be observed for class extensions.

At a Class Extension Survey the ship is to be inspected, if practicable, when it is not loaded, so that the hatches, the cargo holds, the tween-deck spaces, the watertight doors, etc. can be examined; if necessary, tanks will also be examined. In the case of oil tankers and ships carrying combined cargoes (e.g. OBO-ships) the ballast tanks located in the cargo area will be subjected to a general condition survey. An inspection of the machinery, including the electrical plant, is to be made to verify, in particular, satisfactory operation. Automatic/remote control systems are to be examined, taking into account records of operation.

2.4 Docking Surveys

Underwater hull inspections at regular intervals shall ensure that the outside and the steering facility of a ship remain in a satisfactory condition. Such inspections are also carried out for the control of the propeller, the shaft-line bearings and seals. In addition inlet and outlet piping, valves, seachests and sea filters are examined.

A special type of underwater hull survey is the “in-water survey” which can be applied under special considerations.

For seagoing ships with character of class 100 A 4 an in-water survey may be recognized as a substitute for every second periodical bottom survey, provided

  • the required special equipment is available, documents have been issued and trial requirements complied with and if the survey is carried out as required and with approved firms and satisfactory results,
  • this survey is not part of a class renewal.

For ships of more than 10 years of age the intervals between dry-docking must not exceed 2.5 years.
