Recently Hydrex Spain mobilised men and equipment to perform cleaning work with the in-house developed Hydrex equipment on two container vessels while they were anchored two kilometres off the coast of Algeciras.
The operation was performed with the largest cleaning unit in the set: the MC313 Typhoon. This is a most advanced and versatile machine and is designed to adapt easily to the shape of a ship's hull.
All Hydrex offices and service stations are equipped with a full set of these hull cleaning units which can be mobilised rapidly to any port. All divers are trained to achieve the fastest possible cleaning rates.
During the operation in Algeciras the team split up so that they could have two units in the water working non-stop. This combined with the extremely fast hull cleaning rate of the Typhoons enabled them to finish the entire operation in eleven hours.
The unique design of the Hydrex series of hull cleaning units provides the efficiency and durability demanded by the harsh underwater environment.
All systems are constructed to minimise the occurrence of damage on the underlying paint layers while still removing all types of fouling.
This restores a vessel's performance as close to its optimum condition as possible and offers ship owners a considerably saving in fuel.
