Thanks to the new approved Hydrex reclaim system that prevents fouling from spreading in the environment during underwater cleaning operations, the Port of Algeciras authorities have specifically authorized the company to perform underwater hull cleaning operations in Algeciras on vessels both alongside the quay and at anchorage.
The Hydrex Spain office in Algeciras, the strait of Gibraltar, is equipped with four full sets of the in-house developed hull cleaning units with this new reclaim system which can be mobilized rapidly to any port. All divers are trained to achieve the fastest possible cleaning rates without losing the high quality Hydrex is known for. The office has two dedicate dive support boats for a fast response to any kind of service or repair that is requ ired in the bay. If required, both boats can be equipped with two three-brush Typhoon hull cleaning units, allowing for a total of four units in the water working non-stop. This combined with the extremely fast hull cleaning rate of the Typhoons enables Hydrex divers to clean even the largest vessels in a very short timeframe.
Hydrex Spain is also fully equipped to carry out repairs at anchorage, in port or onvoyage at any port in Spain within 24 hours. All operations are certified by the classification societies and carried out by highly qualified diver-technicians all of which have been trained in the headquarters in Antwerp and have extensive experience.
