Last week Chiel visited a certain vessel in Norway to replace one transducer (got damaged when changing the swing set box-coolers), and measuring the SPL : sound pressure level for each of the transducers. On the video an observant person can see him working in one of the confined spaces where the box-coolers are. The measurements for all transducers were good: more than 10 decibels over the threshold which Shipsonic considers sufficient to guarantee effectiveness of the ultr

TT's latest post was already a month ago, from Singapore. But really all these travelling transducers are going all over the place, but we so often forget to take the pictures. Now Shipsonic was at the Color Hybrid, Sandefjord-Strรถmstad Norway - Sweden crossing. We did a few monitoring and measurements tasks. Very impressed with the tip-top vessel and amazingly helpful and welcoming crew. More TT news shortly - a collection with flowers.

Tomorrow Shipsonic has its webinar about preventing biofouling on vessels. We will discuss about the workings of ultrasonic sound, the biology of marine growth, the examples of how it can work well and we will work on several ship general arrangement files and detailed drawings of cooling systems and how to design an effective USAF: ultrasonic anti-fouling. It will be a highly interactive, practical session with chances to share your experiences and ideas. Maritime & Offshore

Jan Visser comes with years of hands-on and brains-on experience in the maritime sector. He knows everybody, but more importantly he knows exactly what is going on at ship yards, on ships, in companies and how we can contribute to them. Very warm welcome to you, Jan.

Shipsonic attended the FOWT 2026 as part of Maritime & Offshore NL stand. We learned: โข The floating wind energy is still in its early stage, with few installations operational and still a lot of design, development and testing ongoing. โข Some of the floaters are built in concrete (making them unsuitable for our ultrasonic anti-fouling) but the majority continues to be built in metal. โข There are, however, numerous other aspects of the floating wind where fouling is a clea

This demo we have started to send to each of our agents, who in their turn take it to trade shows, conferences, and meetings with clients. Here are our first photos, me picking up the 'babies' from Dethon and at the FOWT Conference in Montpellier together with Eric C. Next location will be Singapore, watch this space.

Sylvia Boer nodigde Shipsonic uit voor de actietafel Maritiem. In een luttel aantal kwartieren hadden we een goede lijst met actiepunten. Ikzelf vond een aantal inzichten van Mira de Voogd heel nuttig: beschouw een schip als een heel groot aantal delen die ieder een eigen levensduur hebben en een eigen plan nodig hebben voor onderhoud, reparatie, levensverlengende behandelingen, enz. Ook belangrijk dat er data komen wat er in ieder schip zit en doorrekenen wat de economische

It was a fully packed programme, meeting with GET's distinguished clients, each of them taking ample time to hear about ultra sound, our research and the innovations we offer. While Greece has relatively fewer box-coolers, there are ample opportunities for applying Shipsonic's ultra-sonic anti-fouling on bow-thruster tunnels, on strainers and water-intake pipes, etc. We are particular

Exploring Offshore Innovation at the Offshore Test Site in Scheveningen
It was great to attend the Offshore Test Site even at Campusatsea in Scheveningen last Tuesday. Shipsonic got to meet such interesting innovative offshore energy companies, many of which showed a keen interest in our ultrasonic anti-fouling solution. After all, whether you use wave energy, floating solar, tidal or ocean current energy, one way or another you will face marine growth. While many just accept the growth, taking the weight and drag into account in their design, th

Box coolers can efficiently cool engines on vessels using only a limited space. But one drawback is that box coolers suffer heavily from fouling and can normally not be cleaned without docking the vessel. Standard box-cooler protection against fouling is copper based. See Shipsonic earlier post introducing a comparative study between these copper based systems and our ultrasonic system. This comparison and numerous research projects have resulted in Shipsonic now being rec

In this brochure Shipsonic gives a cost comparison between USAF (ultrasonic anti-fouling) and ICAF (impressed current anti-fouling). USAF is often perceived as more costly. However, if you consider the life-time of Shipsonicโs USAF systems, they work out much more economical. Of course, there are many other reasons to prefer Shipsonicโs USAF: no through hull wiring, no risk of galvanic corrosion. And last but not least; USAF is poison free and forgoes substantial pollution

Microphone holder for sound pressure meter
This is a steel holder that fits the microphone of the UltraTester precisely and is filled with a special liquid. The strong magnet at the bottom of the holder pulls it against the surface to be tested, even in hard-to-reach places. This provides a very accurate and reliable reading of the sound pressure level (SPL), valuable information for the further development of our product.
