UNDERWATER SEA CHEST INSPECTION IN LOME

Sea chests provide seawater intake for important onboard systems. Their underwater condition can affect the flow of seawater to cooling and other machinery circuits. Our underwater sea chest inspection service in Lome allows vessel operators to assess accessible sea chest areas while the vessel remains afloat.

Divers inspect external sea chest surfaces, gratings and surrounding hull areas for marine growth, debris, corrosion and visible damage.

Heavy fouling can restrict water flow and may require cleaning. Damaged gratings or underwater fittings may also require further repair.

Sea chest inspection can be performed together with underwater hull inspection, sea valve inspection and hull cleaning. This provides an opportunity to examine several underwater components during one diving operation.

Photographic and video documentation can be provided where requested, allowing technical managers to review the underwater findings.

The service is suitable for commercial ships calling at Lome Port and can be arranged around the vessel's port schedule.

Regular sea chest inspection can help identify developing underwater problems before they affect onboard cooling systems. Our service focuses on practical inspection, clear reporting and appropriate recommendations based on visible underwater conditions.
