ABOUT US

The maritime scene in Pakistan lacked a key resource namely the deployment of underwater professionals. Local and overseas maritime communities operating in the region had to hire underwater specialists from abroad despite the prohibitive cost involved in routine maintenance and repair of sea-going vessels and a host of other ancillary services.
Late Mr. Syed Hassan Askari, founder, Indus Divers,
had the vision to foresee the growth of this specialized sector. He set the infrastructure in place.

Underwater Hull Cleaning

A well-cleaned and property maintained hull results in huge fuel savings. Hull cleaning in the olden times took on the form of paint coatings having cuprous oxide. In 1974, a new form of self polishing treatment known as “TBT” was introduced. But, because of the environmental hazards this treatment posed, it had to be discontinued. Nowadays, a different form of antifouling is used which is hospitable to fouling organisms and it only requires regular underwater cleaning.

Underwater Propeller Polishing

While the hull is coated with antifouling paint, the propeller is not. Hence the only way to keep a propeller in shape is to ensure its proper and regular cleaning. Keeping the propeller blade surfaces smooth and inhospitable to countless marine organisms is a key task. When the blade surfaces of a propeller turn rough it results in minute scratches that allow marine organisms to settle and give way to formation of slime turning the blades into breeding grounds for weeds and shell which further compound the issue.
