WISTA The Netherlands 31st March: a grand day with a mini conference. great presentations and discussions, excellent organisation and all these wonderful new people to meet and known people to catch up with. I learned about the concept 'Futures Literacy' - imagine different futures and get to work to reach the ones you like. And so much more. WISTA is the best. Thank you all the speakers, Federica Pace, Cynthia Everduin, and and all the other ones who organized this. Our wond

Last week our demo model transducer on curved surfaces (a pipe) with specific radius went with Siv Stรธve Syversen to Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) expo 2026. Many visitors from a range of Asian countries and far beyond had a chance to enjoy the sophisticated mounting and beautifully executed tailored radius. Siv of Multi Solutions AS shared about Shipsonic alongside their core business of environmentally friendly cleaning of box-coolers, plate coolers and many other vessel part

Shipsonic has developed a wonderful demo model showing how our transducers can be placed on curved surfaces, how our patent-protected mounting works and looks. 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.

Actietafel Maritiem - Congres Circulair Ondernemen
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

Shipsonic spent an excellent week with GET STC LTD, its Exclusive Representatives in Greece. 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

Shipsonic is excited to be part of FOWT 2026, 24-26 March. This huge conference on floating offshore wind is giving us many interesting discussions, meeting with designers of floaters, people sharing how mooring cables suffer from fouling, and fouling affecting monitoring buoys โ just to name a few. We notice that most of the participants had never heard of ultrasonic anti-fouling and it takes us a bit of time to properly explain the workings and the advantages. Floating offs

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. Seeย Shipsonic ย earlier post introducing a comparative study between these copper based systems and our ultrasonic system.ย This comparison and numerous research projects have resulted in Shipsonic now being rec

In this brochureย Shipsonic ย 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.
