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 inspection with photographs or video

Mark the area and state what the vessel has observed or needs recorded.

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.

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.
