Ship General Diving Port Services in Kamsar Port
Many diving jobs for ships are small. A Diver may be needed to check a draft mark, clear a line, look at a sea chest, find a dropped item or confirm that a ship's hull is clear before sailing. Ship general diving port services in Kamsar Port cover these routine tasks, with the same safety standards as larger jobs but a faster, simpler process.
Routine Tasks We Handle
- Draft mark checks and reading when marks are hard to see from the surface.
- Quick hull check before sailing, after berthing or after anchoring.
- Clearing small lines, plastic and debris from propellers and sea chests.
- Recovery of dropped items such as tools, mooring equipment and gangway parts.
- Inspection of anchor and chain position after anchoring.
- Support for mooring and towing operations.
- Attending to underwater fittings, anodes and small fittings.
Draft Mark Checks
Draft readings determine the ship's cargo load and are important for bauxite loading. When marks are obscured by growth or when water conditions make reading difficult, a Diver can clean and read them. This is useful before a draft survey, and ensures that the ship's draft calculations are based on accurate marks. We record the readings with photographs.
Pre-Sailing Hull Checks
A short Diver check before sailing can find a fouled propeller, a rope on the rudder or a damaged fitting, before it causes a delay at sea. This is valuable after long anchorage stays or after an incident near the berth. The check normally takes 1 to 2 hours, and the Diver reports to the master and the agent.
Object Recovery
Dropped tools, mooring gear and equipment fall into the water regularly. If the position is known, a Diver can often recover the item. In poor visibility, search techniques such as a jackstay or circle search increase the chance. We record the search area and report the outcome. For hazardous objects, we coordinate with the port authority.
Support for Port Operations
General diving also supports cargo and marine operations: checking the seabed near the berth, helping with mooring buoys, assisting tugs with fouled lines and inspecting fenders and chains. Because our team is already familiar with Kamsar Port, we can adapt quickly to tasks that arise on short notice.
Simple Ordering and Pricing
For routine tasks, we offer clear prices by hour or by task, with a minimum charge for mobilisation. The agent or master gives us a short description, and we confirm the time and cost. After the work, a short report lists what was done and any findings.

Why Small Jobs Matter
Small underwater jobs prevent big problems. A quick check of the propeller before sailing can save a delay at sea. A recovered tool can avoid damage to a propeller. A read draft mark can avoid a cargo dispute. Because small jobs are quick, they must be easy to order. We therefore keep the process simple: a call, a few details, a confirmed time and a short report.
Planning Routine Visits With the Agent
Agents can bundle routine diving into the ship's port call plan. For example, a check of the propeller on arrival, a draft mark reading before loading and a final hull check before sailing can all be arranged in advance. We provide a simple rate card, so the agent can quote the owner with confidence. This approach cuts delays and makes small tasks predictable.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Why check draft marks underwater?
Clean, readable marks give accurate draft readings, which affect cargo calculations.
Q2. How long does a pre-sailing hull check take?
Usually 1 to 2 hours.
Q3. Can a Diver recover dropped items?
Often yes if the position is known, though poor visibility can make searching longer.
Q4. What is the minimum charge?
A minimum mobilisation charge applies for each job, which we state in the quotation.
Q5. Do routine tasks follow the same safety rules?
Yes. Dive plan, lock-out where needed and standby diver apply to all tasks.
