Underwater Inspection & Hull Cleaning at Chattogram Port
Send the vessel’s underwater requirement to our Chattogram operations desk. Chittagong Port Agent (CPA) checks vessel position, affected areas, available diving team and timing before shifting or sailing. We keep the Master and principal advised through diver attendance, underwater work and report return.

Underwater Work We Can Check
CPA checks the local diving team against the vessel position, work required and available window.
Hull cleaning
Send the hull area, reported fouling, coating information and required completion time.
Propeller inspection and polishing
State any vibration, performance concern, damage or fouling reported by the vessel.
Rope, fishing-net or plastic removal
The diving team first checks the obstruction and confirms what can be removed under the agreed instruction.
Rudder, stern area, sea chest and grating inspection
Identify the exact area and whether inspection, clearing or cleaning is required.
Class-attended inspection or UWILD contractor enquiry
Send the classification society and survey basis before contractor confirmation.
First Desk Check
Before We Send the Divers
Tell us where the vessel is lying, which underwater area needs attention, what the vessel has observed and when the job must finish.
At Berth
We check terminal access, cargo activity, vessel permission and the diving window before confirming attendance.
At Anchorage
We check weather, sea condition, suitable workboat access and the next shifting or sailing time.
Photographs and Video
State the named areas, close-ups, measurements, date marking or class-monitored CCTV required.
Hull Cleaning
The contractor confirms the proposed method, equipment, coating considerations and areas excluded from the quotation.
Work Order
Inspection, Polishing and Cleaning Are Separate Instructions
A general diving quotation is not permission to start. The work order names which job is being done.
Written Work Order
Confirm the work area, coating condition, provider documents, payer, vessel position and the current local or facility route before attendance.
Safe-Work Window
Cleaning should not begin until the Master or OOW and the diving supervisor agree the safe-work window. Barges, launches, propeller or thruster use, suction or discharge, anchor movement, visibility and current can change it.
Evidence and Acceptance
The close-out pack separates the provider’s completion evidence, the Master or OOW acknowledgement and any owner, class or flag technical acceptance.
Working Reality
What Can Hold the Job
Diving Team Still on Another Vessel
CPA checks when the current job will finish and the earliest time the team can move.
No Suitable Workboat
The divers may be ready ashore while no suitable boat is available for the vessel position.
Weather or Water Condition
Weather, current, sea condition, poor visibility or unsafe access may stop boarding or underwater work.
Vessel Not Ready for Diving
Machinery status, propeller, thruster, sea suction, overboard discharge, boarding access or onboard contact may still need confirmation.
More Work Found Underwater
CPA returns the diver’s finding and revised contractor requirement before additional work starts where possible.
Shifting or Sailing Time Changed
We report what can still be completed and what needs a new attendance plan.
What Comes Back After the Job
Depending on the confirmed contractor scope, the return may include:
Diver’s attendance report
Underwater photographs and video
Marked-up observations and agreed measurements
Areas inspected, cleaned or not completed
Rope, net or obstruction removed
Contractor completion statement
Class acceptance, surveyor endorsement and technical findings remain with the issuing classification society, surveyor or diving contractor.
Send Underwater Work Requirement
Send the vessel, position, affected underwater area, work required and attendance deadline.
CPA checks the local diving team against vessel position, work required and the available window, then returns the attendance path and next action.
CPA arranges local attendance and reporting. The diving contractor performs the underwater work under the vessel’s safety arrangements. The Master retains command of the vessel and permission for underwater work.
Urgent attendance window: identify the vessel, position, work required and required time when contacting the Duty Desk.
Enquiry received. The duty desk will check the diving team, vessel access and earliest workable attendance.
