Underwater blasting and painting using Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) is a cutting-edge maintenance solution that eliminates the need for dry-docking or diver intervention. Ideal for environmentally sensitive and high-risk zones, this method ensures vessel upkeep with greater safety, efficiency, and precision.
Utilizes high-pressure water jets, abrasive blasting, or cavitation tools.
Effectively removes marine growth, rust, old coatings, scale, and other contaminants.
Prepares surfaces such as hulls, propellers, and sea chests for coating or corrosion protection.
Applies specialized coatings like epoxy, ceramic, or polymer-based solutions.
Coatings are hydrophobic and rapid-curing, designed to adhere underwater.
Provides corrosion resistance, biofouling protection, and supports existing cathodic protection systems.
Our ROV systems are equipped for high-precision work in challenging environments:
Magnetic or suction adhesion for stability on hull surfaces
Manipulator arms fitted with blasting and painting nozzles
High-definition cameras for real-time visual feedback
Live surface profiling to ensure proper prep and application
Access to tight or confined spaces where divers can’t safely operate
Enhanced Safety – No need for diver deployment in hazardous zones.
Operational Flexibility – Work can be performed while the vessel remains afloat and in service.
Cost Efficiency – Reduces the need for dry-docking and extensive scaffolding.
Environmental Responsibility – Some systems include debris recovery to minimize marine impact.
Application Precision – Reduces overspray, ensures even coatings, and improves material efficiency.
With Commercial Marine Group’s ROV-based blasting and painting solutions, you gain next-generation efficiency, regulatory compliance, and long-term vessel protection—all without taking your vessel offline.
