ROV maintenance

At Odin Diving, we offer professional ROV maintenance of ships.

  • Effective removal of algae, barnacles, and biofilm
  • Collection of biocides and paint residues
  • No discharge into the marine environment

Effective hull cleaning with collection

Our ROV maintenance solution ensures a clean hull. Using a closed collection system, we effectively remove all types of biofouling while simultaneously suctioning all loosened particles.

This means that no paint residues or harmful biocides are released into the ocean. As more ports now prohibit traditional hull cleaning without collection, our ROV solution always meets the strictest environmental requirements in both ports and inland waters.

Algae, barnacle and biofilm removal with an ROV

Algae and barnacle removal with an ROV is a cleaning method in which a remotely operated underwater drone loosens and collects the fouling from the hull without a commercial diver entering the water. The result is a clean hull with less drag through the water, while the anti-fouling coating is spared unnecessary wear.

Biofouling degrades a ship’s performance and increases fuel consumption. A biofilm layer as thin as 0.5 mm across half the hull can raise your fuel consumption emissions by 25-30%. With heavier fouling, such as barnacles, fuel consumption can rise by up to 60% for an average-sized container ship.

With our ROV maintenance, we can handle the regular removal of algae and barnacles, keeping your hull smooth and reducing your fuel consumption.

Benefits of the ROV solution

Closed collection system

All waste from the cleaning is suctioned directly into a filter system, preventing microorganisms and particles from spreading to new ecosystems.

Protection of the marine environment

By preventing toxins from the bottom paint from polluting the harbor basin, we can perform cleaning in locations where traditional cleaning is prohibited.

Fuel savings

A clean hull significantly reduces drag in the water. This reduces fuel consumption and directly lowers the vessel’s CO2 emissions.

No downtime

We can clean the vessel during loading and unloading. This means you can maintain your vessel without any extra time in port.

Our other underwater services

Need a clear overview of your vessel’s maintenance needs? We can start with an initial ROV inspection. If we find any damage requiring more than a cleaning, we can handle the repairs – including underwater welding – to get you back in service fast.

At Odin Diving A/S, we have over 10 years of experience with vessel and offshore platform inspections, maintenance, and repairs. We are widely established across the Nordics, but our team takes on jobs worldwide.
