Laid-Up Vessel Inspection – Essential Underwater Services in Singapore

At Oceanus Marine, we understand the importance of maintaining vessels during periods of lay-up. Our specialized laid-up vessel inspection services form part of our wider range of underwater services in Singapore, ensuring that ships remain in compliance with international standards and are ready for reactivation at any time.

Whether in Singapore, Greece, New Zealand, or Australia, our commercial diving company provides reliable underwater maintenance, cleaning, and inspection solutions tailored for laid-up ships.

What is Laid-Up Vessel Inspection?

A laid-up vessel inspection involves a thorough underwater and topside evaluation of ships that are temporarily out of service. During lay-up, hulls and critical systems are prone to fouling, corrosion, and mechanical deterioration. Oceanus Marine’s experienced marine team for hull inspections ensures that potential risks are detected early through:

• Marine vessel inspection and surveys

Underwater photo inspection & underwater video inspection

• Underwater class inspection & underwater UWILD inspection

• Tailshaft reading & rudder pintle reading

These inspections prevent long-term structural damage and costly repairs when reactivating vessels.

Importance of Laid-Up Vessel Maintenance

✔ Prevent severe marine growth & corrosion buildup

✔ Maintain hull integrity through underwater hull cleaning Singapore

✔ Ensure compliance with NZ MPI standard hull inspection & AUS standard inspection

✔ Reduce reactivation costs and downtime

Our experienced divers for hull repairs carry out marine hull cleaning and repair services, including hull and vessel cleaning services and underwater propeller polishing / cleaning / soft cleaning, to keep vessels in optimal condition during lay-up.
