Ship Husbandry & Maintenance

Keep vessels seaworthy, efficient, and on schedule with professional Ship Husbandry & Maintenance services delivered alongside port calls or afloat. Certified dive and technical crews handle hull cleaning and biofouling removal, propeller polishing, sea-chest/thruster cleaning, and targeted afloat repairs—the work that restores hydrodynamic performance, improves maneuverability, and cuts fuel burn and emissions. For operators tracking CII/EEXI performance, clean hulls and polished propellers are among the fastest wins.

Preventive maintenance protects hull integrity and reduces unplanned off-hire. Teams perform anode replacement and ICCP checks to maintain cathodic protection, along with UWILD/class and structural inspections that document coating condition, thickness readings where scoped, and any defects in rudders, rope guards, gratings, or niche areas. When incidents happen, 24/7 crews mobilize for emergency rope/net removal, minor sealing/blanking, and obstruction clearing so departures stay on track. Where visibility or access is limited, ROV support provides coded video and repeatable imagery without delaying cargo or passenger operations.

Through Nautrex, you can hire verified ship husbandry providers who work to port requirements and class expectations with formal method statements, permits-to-work, and HSE controls. Deliverables include documented work with photo/video evidence, concise condition reports, and simple recommendations your superintendent can act on immediately. Whether you need a same-day call-out or a planned maintenance window, Nautrex helps you compare capabilities and book Ship Husbandry & Maintenance services that keep your fleet reliable and fuel-efficient.
