However, however, we install only a small portion of our systems on hulls. Why is that? Two reasons: It requires a very large number of transducers, roughly 2 transducers between frames, on port and starboard. That comes to 4 transducers every 600mm or so. We need to be a

Shipsonic noticed that so many stories go around about how marine fouling happens and how ultrasonic systems can fight it. We identified a whole list of stories we heard. Then we put the list to our Director, Chiel de Wit. The result is a wonderful series of short videos giving you honest answers about this theme shrouded in myths and fantasy. The first 4 videos are here: Q1: Some claim that ultrasonic anti-fouling can clean a surface of marine growth. What is Shipsonic’s vi

Here he discusses why Shipsonic doesn't provide all these frills, including remote control of the system. So the answer boils down to: remote connectivity is very hard on vessels, because the control units are deep down in the e

Cavitation is '𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘷𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘳-𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘣𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴 (𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴) 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘥'. Cavitation is basically an extremely powerful cleaning comparable to sand-blasting - very destructive.

Even the sturdiest, two-component, costly glues have a limited working life in a vessel. To boot, the constant high Sound Pressure Level is also a huge challenge for the glue. Several of our installations took place on vessels where we needed to remove our friends' systems, with transducers hang

Shipsonic competes well with ultrasonic anti-fouling competitors (𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗙 for the in-crowd). We reckon we have 5 important features the competitors lack. Now, I am only going to share you one of these – you don’t want to give too many ideas. Yesterday, Shipsonic's team visited Dethon (who assemble our units). It was wonderful to see many and many of our competitive advantages standing ready for packing.There they were shining, with sharp edges: our 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺-𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗮

What a great graphic. So clearly and accessibly explained. Well done Selamawit Alemayehu! Shipsonic particularly hopes that the graphic makes it clear that we are more than box-coolers. Here you can access our brochure on 'non-boxcooler applications' https://lnkd.in/dqkt4Hr4. Basically, if you need to prevent fouling on any seawater exposed part, get in touch. We will assess honestly if we can keep it clean - we will also make it clear if other solutions are more appropriate

Wat een dilemma: twee belangrijke beurzen op hetzelfde moment: Maritime Industry en Posidonia. Shipsonic kreeg het voor mekaar. We hadden fantastisch team op beide beurzen. Toon van de Sande MA, met waarschijnlijk een halve eeuw ervaring in de Nederlandse scheepvaart en vooral een goede bekende in de binnenvaart stond samen met Theresa Thin, een nieuwkomer in de scheepvaart maar nu al met enorme kennis over de ultrasone antifouling technologie en haar toepassingen. Dit team i

It is wonderful for Shipsonic to connect with so many captains, fleet managers, shipping companies and maritime researchers at this sophisticated trade show. Our stand has a real ultrasonic vibe and attracts many genuinely interested people. Two more days to go, looking forward to meeting you there at our stand 3.167 as part of GET STC LTD stand. Here a few photos. #Posidonia2026 #fouling #antifouling #USAF

Visit us at stand number 3.167, Hall 3. We will be part of GET / A General company stand, Shipsonic's respected representatives in Greece with Vasilios Michael Chrysopoulos, Birgit Van de Wijgaart and Alexandros Kessar. Our Director, Chiel de Wit and our Business Development Officer Anne Marie van Swinderen will be available all days to show you our robust ultrasonic anti-fouling systems. #antifouling #marinegrowth #posidonia #GET

A study into the effectiveness of ultrasonic antifouling. The report has been published and can be read online here. Their conclusions can also be viewed in summary form here.

In a carefully designed research, Jacob J. Capelle (Wageningen University & Research) and Marco Dubbeldam (Stichting Zeeschelp) investigated how ultrasonic vibration influences the settlement of mussel larvae.

Together with Kelvion, Shipsonic has developed test equipment that can measure the actual capacity of a cooler. It measures not only the inlet and outlet temperature of the coolant, but also the speed at which the fluid flows through the coolers.
