What is a ‘Sea Chest’?

A ‘Sea Chest’ is a recess in a ship’s hull that houses pipes to take in seawater. They are cavities built into a vessel’s hull to help increase the efficiency of pumping seawater into the internal pipework system to support the vessel’s engine cooling, ballast, and firefighting purposes. Sea chests have been identified as a major hotspot for biofouling and among the various niche areas along the hull of a vessel.

WHAT DOES SHIP MAINTENANCE ENTAIL FOR SHIP BUYERS?

One of the most important aspects of maritime shipment facilitation is managing ship maintenance and repairs. Buying and selling a vessel is a major investment, and it should be kept in a top-notch state during its lifespan to ensure minimal loss of value when it comes to selling it off again.

Underwater Inspections Will Save You Money & Give You Peace of Mind

Ship engineers and marine experts emphasize regular ship maintenance, inspections, and repair. These steps are vital to ensure fuel efficiency, damage prevention, and operational productivity of marine vessels, boats, and ships.
While mariners can perform some of these routine maintenance tasks themselves, some inspections, especially those carried out below the waterline are best left to the experts!

Since frequent stops at dry docks aren’t feasible, operators and owners utilize commercial divers to perform underwater hull inspections and repairs whilst their ships are still afloat. These tasks often require a high level of precision and professionalism, hence, your best bet is to rely on an experienced team of underwater service providers such as Thai Subsea Services.

What Is a Transducer? Why Do Ships Need Them?

Transducers are an integral part of any ship and play an instrumental role in aiding the safe navigation of all vessels the world over.

This article will explain the importance of transducers and their applications in the commercial shipping and marine industries. It is also important to learn about their inner workings to ensure they are functioning correctly, are properly maintained, and why they need to be replaced when not operating at optimal levels.

This basic definition of a transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another. Since we are focusing on ships, it should be noted that a transducer fitted underneath a ship converts electrical energy into high-frequency sound energy.
