Benefits to USI's routine maintenance program:

Ships are always ready to achieve the performance numbers required.

• Cost of routine maintenance is far less than the loss of fuel efficiency caused by a fouled hull or propeller.

• Anti-foulants are rejuvenated.

• Inspections for dry-dock repairs allow more accurate repair estimating saving time and money.

• Scheduled inspections and cleaning are far less expensive.

Underwater Services International, Inc., offers you the following advantages:

• Quality work completed efficiently and cost effectively.

• Cleaning accomplished while the ship is at anchorage or at dockside with an average 48- to 72-hour service for complete cleaning (rapid turnaround cleaning can be provided in as little as 12 hours).

• Minimal scraping or removal of the hull's anti-foulant coatings.

• Time and money savings with less frequent dry dockings.

• Underwater pictorial survey of the hull providing documentation of the hull's condition before and after cleaning.

• Routine maintenance program including hull, propeller, rudder, sonar dome cleaning and propeller polishing.

• Professional uniformed staff with specialized training.

• Underwater closed circuit video revealing any condition warranting early corrective action or repair.

• Pre-dry-dock cleaning requiring less time in docks and no waste disposal charges.
