MaxiDive completed CRMS Bio-Fouling Inspection and Cleaning for a commercial vessel at Koh Si Chang Anchorage, Thailand. The project supported vessel biofouling review through underwater inspection, selected cleaning and technical photo/video documentation while the vessel remained afloat.
This operation required vessel-side coordination, preparation of hydraulic cleaning equipment, underwater camera systems and commercial diving support from the workboat. The scope focused on documenting submerged areas where marine growth may accumulate, including hull surfaces, fittings, appendage-related zones and propeller-area components.
CRMS Bio-Fouling Inspection and Cleaning Scope
The scope was focused on underwater condition verification and selected cleaning support for biofouling documentation. MaxiDive’s diving team carried out close-range underwater inspection and recorded visual evidence for the vessel’s technical review.
The operation included:
Underwater visual inspection
Biofouling condition documentation
Selected underwater cleaning
Hydraulic and hand-tool cleaning support
Propeller-area documentation
Inspection of submerged fittings and selected underwater areas
Photo and video records for technical review
Commercial diving support at anchorage
Vessel-Side Equipment Coordination
A key part of this project was the preparation and coordination of equipment from the workboat alongside the vessel. For CRMS Bio-Fouling Inspection and Cleaning, the diving team must be ready to inspect, document and clean selected areas depending on the underwater condition found during the operation.
Hydraulic equipment, hoses, underwater tools and documentation systems were prepared on deck to support efficient diver operations. This setup allowed the team to move between inspection points and cleaning areas while maintaining safe communication and worksite control.
Underwater Documentation of Propeller-Related Areas
For biofouling review, propeller-related areas and nearby underwater fittings are important because marine growth can remain around recesses, edges and equipment surfaces. These zones often require close-range inspection and clear underwater photo/video documentation.
During this project, MaxiDive documented the propeller-area condition and selected submerged components for technical review. This helps vessel managers and technical superintendents better understand the underwater condition and plan any follow-up maintenance if required.
Selected Cleaning for Biofouling Review
Where cleaning was required, MaxiDive carried out selected underwater cleaning using suitable hydraulic and hand tools. Controlled cleaning helps improve visibility of submerged structures and supports more accurate condition documentation.
This type of cleaning is not only about removing marine growth. It also helps provide a clearer record of underwater surfaces, fittings and equipment condition for vessel management review.
Commercial Diving Support at Koh Si Chang Anchorage
Koh Si Chang Anchorage is one of Thailand’s key operational areas for commercial vessels. MaxiDive regularly supports vessels in this location with underwater inspection, CRMS biofouling support, hull cleaning, propeller polishing, sea chest cleaning, rope removal, underwater maintenance and emergency underwater repair.
For this project, the diving team completed the operation under anchorage conditions, combining inspection discipline, equipment readiness and technical documentation.
Technical Value for Vessel Managers
CRMS Bio-Fouling Inspection and Cleaning gives vessel managers a practical underwater record while the vessel remains afloat. The documentation supports biofouling review, maintenance planning, voyage preparation and operational decision-making without dry docking.
MaxiDive provides commercial diving services in Thailand for vessels requiring underwater inspection, biofouling cleaning, technical reporting and reliable support at ports and anchorages.
