MV Star Lysefjord
STAR LYSEFJORD is a vessel built in 2014 and designed for commercial maritime operations. In May 2024, the vessel was at Chengxi Shipyard in China, where Shipsonic carried out an ultrasonic anti-fouling (USAF) installation on the vesselโs hull.


FWN ANTARCTIC
FWN ANTARCTIC is a 140-meter general cargo ship built in 2025 and equipped with eight box coolers: seven located aft for the two auxiliary engines and the main engine HT/LT systems, and one located forward for the AC system. All eight box coolers are fitted with Shipsonic ultrasonic anti-fouling transducers.

I don't normally share sunsets on a professional profile (or anywhere else really). But this one is different. The sun setting with the silhouettes of two vessels. The sky showing upheaval rather than the normal sunset calms and romantic stuff. It is quite an experience being here in Lithuania. We also travelled close to the Kaliningrad border, saw the border crossing at Panemune with only people walking across. ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ก๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐


We are looking back at an excellent SMM last week!
It was so busy, we realize now that we didn't take enough photos. At least this important photo with TX Marine Messsysteme GmbH's team, Nadine Paschen and Alexandra Leuschner shows you our energetic German agents. We will have some installations in German shipyards soon. If you want to have a presentation at your offices, October would be a good option. ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ช๐๐! #ultrasonicantifouling #TXmarine #Shipsonic #USAF #Germany


Wishing all at SMM Hamburg a very fine second day.
It was great to see so many of the Shipsonic team: Hans Stolk at NRF Thermal Engineering Solutions A4-315 and the great NRF team was out in full force Always active Birgit Van de Wijgaart at GET STC LTD so welcoming at A4-346 Then Alexandra Leuschner of TX Marine Messsysteme GmbH with passion showing our radius transducer alongside their great Torx meter. It is definitely worth visiting the at B6-256.


Successful first day at SMM Hamburg!
It was an excellent first day at SMM for Shipsonic: + Many many visitors at NRF booth A4-315 + great talk by Chiel de Wit - the burden of proof + our German agent TX Marine Messsysteme GmbH B6-256 got so many leads, due to their much visited stand + our Greek agent GET STC LTD A4-346 is attending to a steady flow of esteemed client explaining our system. Our partner Multi Solutions AS also had two visitors who she sent on to Anne Marie van Swinderen A highlight was our meet

When you have a Shipsonic system on board, make sure it doesn't sound like a ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ. If our transducers make a lot of noise, they are not properly screwed on. This means that they don't make proper contact with the item that needs to be protected against fouling. The strong torque means the ultrasonic sound and vibration is properly transferred.

Shipsonic often gets feedback from clients and even some agents 'those vessels don't have box-coolers, so that is not for Shipsonic'. Shipsonic works extremely well for plate coolers. We are particularly successful at plate coolers due to our custom-made radius transducers. This means that we machine the transducer sound cone and the welding ring to exactly match the outer diameter (which defines the curve) so that everything fits perfectly. Even for very large strainers, wh
