Hull Cleaning
& Polishing

Marine biofouling — barnacles, slime, weed and hard growth — increases hull resistance dramatically. A fouled hull can increase fuel consumption by 10–40% and significantly raise your vessel's carbon footprint and EEXI score. OceanEdge deploys ROV-assisted systems and certified commercial divers to restore your hull to optimal hydrodynamic condition.

We operate soft-brush ROV systems that comply with biofouling regulations in sensitive port states, capturing removed growth without releasing it into the environment.

Cargo Hold
Cleaning

Passing cargo hold inspections on first attempt is critical to avoiding costly delays and demurrage. OceanEdge's cargo hold cleaning teams are trained to work efficiently under tight port timelines, preparing holds from any previous cargo to the cleanliness grade required by charterers, cargo surveyors and classification bodies.

We service bulk carriers, general cargo vessels, OBO carriers and heavy-lift ships — covering grain, coal, ore, fertiliser, steel, timber and sensitive cargo grades.

Hydroblasting
& Surface Prep

Ultra-high pressure water jetting is the most effective and environmentally clean method for removing rust, old coatings, marine growth and industrial contamination from ship structures, decks, tanks and piping systems. OceanEdge operates equipment from 500 PSI to 40,000 PSI (UHPWJ).

As a paint-free surface preparation method, hydroblasting generates no dust, no toxic waste and leaves a surface profile ready for immediate coating application.

Engine Room
Cleaning

A clean engine room is a safe engine room. Accumulated oil, grease, bilge contamination and soot are primary fire hazards and major risk factors during port state control inspections. OceanEdge specialist teams carry out comprehensive engine room degreasing, bilge cleaning and machinery space sanitisation.

Propeller
Polishing

Propeller roughness caused by corrosion, cavitation erosion and marine growth increases shaft power demand significantly. In-water propeller polishing by our qualified underwater technicians restores the blade surface to ISO 484 Class S finish — delivering immediate, measurable fuel efficiency improvements without any vessel downtime from dry-docking.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from fleet operators, charterers and marine managers.

How quickly can you mobilize at a port?
We guarantee mobilization within 4 hours at our 30+ primary port locations. At secondary ports within our network, typical mobilization is 8–12 hours. Contact our 24/7 operations desk for exact timing at your port.
Do you operate at anchorage as well as berth?
Yes. Our teams are fully equipped for both alongside-berth and at-anchorage operations. Hull cleaning, underwater inspection and propeller polishing are routinely conducted at anchorage with dive support vessels.
What documentation do you provide?
Every operation includes a detailed completion report, photographic and video evidence, waste disposal certificates, gas-free certification where applicable, and all documents required for port state control and class society acceptance.
Are you approved by classification societies?
Yes. OceanEdge is recognized by all major classification societies including DNV, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ABS, ClassNK and RINA for underwater inspection and hull cleaning operations.
Can you handle chemical tanker tank cleaning?
Absolutely. Our chemical tanker tank cleaning teams hold relevant certification for handling MARPOL Annex II noxious liquid substances. We carry specialist cleaning agents and can perform sequence cleaning for cargo grade maintenance.
