Introduction Underwater Shipcare (Pte) Ltd, UWSC, is an independent Singapore based company specialising in providing underwater diving services to the shipping industry in Singapore and the neighbouring countries. Principle Activities Hull Cleaning Most of the work is carried out using the scamper system. The scamper hull cleaning machine has been specially developed to remove marine growth without damaging the all important paint surfaces underneath. Propeller Polishing Underwater propeller polishing and maintaining smooth propeller surfaces are now fully appreciated, but propellers do foul up and for this we use our multigrade non abrasive polishing system. This system can polish blades' surface down to and better than one micron C.L.A. which equates to a Rupert 'A' on the Rupert Comparator. Underwater Surveys UWSC is formally approved by all the leading classification societies for carrying out in-water surveys. During the course of the surveys, the divers are in constant communication with the attending Surveyors/Superintendent. Apart from these surveys, we are regularly employed by shipowners and marine paint companies to carry out fouling, paint, pre-purchase and sale inspections. Underwater Blanking From time to time, sea valves give trouble and when it does happen, it is not always convenient to wait until drydocking. It is therefore, essential that sea valves can be opened while the vessel remains afloat. For this, we use our own specially made to measure blanks that fit over the sea chests and overboard discharges. When the blanks are secured in place, this then enables the inboard crew to maintain or replace the sea valves as necessary. 'NDT' testing Underwater Repairs The company frequently undertake a wide range of other underwater repairs from cutting and welding to drilling, sealing of stern tubes, replacing of sacrificial anodes, propellor trimming and balancing, and ultra-sonic 'NDT' testing of shell plating. Welding Reporting On completion of any underwater operation, a detailed photographic report is always submitted. Photography Quality, Service & Assurance With a motto of "We are big enough to meet the challenge and small enough to care", and the fact that we are geared up to work seven days a week twenty-four hours a day, we are absolutely positive that we can offer the very best of service, safety and quality in Singapore, and being independent, we can be more competitive when it comes to pricing without sacrificing the all important factor of quality.
