UNDERWATER ANODE REPLACEMENT IN LOME

Sacrificial anodes provide corrosion protection for underwater metallic components on commercial vessels. Over time, anodes gradually deteriorate and may require replacement to maintain the intended corrosion protection system. Our underwater anode replacement services in Lome provide diving support for ships calling at Lome Port.

Divers can inspect accessible hull anodes and other underwater sacrificial anodes to determine their visible condition. Excessive wear, detachment or deterioration can indicate that replacement is required.

Anode replacement involves identifying the correct type, dimensions and installation position before the new anode is fitted. Proper contact and secure attachment are important to the effectiveness of the protection system.

Hull anodes, propeller-area anodes and other accessible underwater anodes can be inspected and replaced where suitable. The exact scope depends on the vessel's underwater arrangement.

Anode work can be combined with hull inspection, cleaning and underwater photography. This can provide useful documentation of the condition of the vessel's corrosion protection system.

For vessels at Lome Port, underwater replacement can often be coordinated without requiring the vessel to enter dry dock, subject to the nature of the work and local operating conditions.

Our underwater anode replacement service is planned around the vessel's technical requirements and available port time. The objective is to maintain effective corrosion protection while minimizing interruption to normal vessel operations.
