If there is a suspicion that the propeller is fouled, the customer must organize the presence of a dive team, define the task and obtain information about accessible areas after the removal of the foreign material. These points are best summarized in a single request.
The crew's report can describe the circumstances of the incident. The exact location and extent of the fouling, access to the affected areas and visible damage are determined during the inspection. The preliminary briefing therefore begins with facts already known to the owner or agent.
Information required before a cost estimate
Provide the vessel name and IMO number, the port, the berth or anchorage and the actual draft. Explain when the problem was noticed, what material may have reached the propeller and what changes the crew observed. Send the contractor any available photos or videos.
Separate observations from assumptions. The statement that the crew noticed vibrations after contact with a net is more precise than diagnosing propeller damage in advance. Unconfirmed information should be marked as preliminary.
Next, clarify the available time, the representative's contact details and access to the vessel. At an anchorage, transport for the team must be discussed separately. The conditions depend on the location, the vessel and the agreed scope of work.
Include the follow-up inspection in the scope of services
The task can be described as follows: inspect the affected area, determine the accessible scope for the removal of foreign material, inspect the cleared and accessible areas after the work and provide the agreed photos or videos.
Name the components of interest to the technical department. These may include propeller blades, the hub and accessible components around the shaft. The scope of inspection and the possibility of recording a specific area must be discussed for the individual vessel. Inaccessible areas or restricted visibility should be documented in the results.
What the records should show
The customer must be able to distinguish the initial condition, the work performed and the condition of the accessible areas afterwards. A report or accompanying description can state where foreign material was found, which areas were inspected, what visible observations were made and what limitations existed during the inspection.
Photos and videos help convey observations to the technical manager. If measurements, the assessment of another specialist or a specific document format are required, include these requirements in the scope of services in advance. A set of photos does not replace every possible vessel survey.
Why a brief request does not allow a fixed price
A request to remove a net from the propeller contains no information on vessel dimensions, draft, berth, type of fouling or required records. Clarifying these details helps define the work and the attendance. The final conditions are agreed before the specific task begins.
This article deals with the preparation of a request. The organization and safety of diving work, the crew's measures and technical decisions for the vessel must be coordinated by the responsible parties for the respective situation.
