“The <strong>Hydrex</strong> flexible mobdock enables our diving teams<br />
to carry out any required work in-situ and underwater but<br />
in a dry environment, saving the owner the time and<br />
money which going to drydock would entail.”<br />
A dive support vessel is part of the<br />
fast response service offered by<br />
<strong>Hydrex</strong> US.<br />
range from a detailed inspection of a<br />
vessel’s external condition and any<br />
required maintenance or cleaning<br />
work all the way through to highly<br />
technical major repairs. Repairs to<br />
thrusters, propellers, rudders, stern<br />
tube seals, damaged or corroded hulls<br />
and all other underwater services are<br />
done while the vessel is in-situ. This<br />
eliminates the need to drydock, along<br />
with the loss of time and production<br />
this entails. Working closely with<br />
owners, managers and supervisors, all<br />
used methods are fully approved by<br />
all major classification societies.<br />
from the <strong>Hydrex</strong> office in Clearwater,<br />
Tampa together with the needed<br />
equipment on each occasion and set<br />
up a diving station at the berthing<br />
location of the respective ships.<br />
<strong>Hydrex</strong> teams carried out the repairs<br />
with the use of the company’s proprietary<br />
flexible mobdock technique<br />
which allows divers to create a dry<br />
environment around the stern tube<br />
seal assembly. This enables them to<br />
carry out any required work in-situ<br />
and underwater but in a dry environment,<br />
saving the owner the time and<br />
money which going to drydock would<br />
entail.<br />
New York<br />
A full inspection of the vessel in New<br />
York revealed that huge quantities of<br />
fishing line and nets around the stern<br />
tube seal assembly had caused the oil<br />
leak. Moreover, the inspection also<br />
Some cases in point.<br />
<strong>Underwater</strong> stern tube<br />
seal repairs in New York<br />
Mississippi and Alabama<br />
<strong>Underwater</strong> stern tube seal replacements<br />
on vessels berthed in New<br />
York, Gulfport (Mississippi), and<br />
Mobile (Alabama) were carried out by<br />
<strong>Hydrex</strong> diver/technicians. All three<br />
vessels had oil leaks and were not<br />
allowed to sail unless permanent<br />
repairs were carried out.<br />
The U.S. Coast Guard has very strict<br />
policies concerning environmental<br />
By performing repair and maintenance work underwater off hire time is<br />
minimalized.<br />
