Important Shipsonic news - Chiel de Wit is sharing his decade of fouling wisdom. We are starting with a series of ๐๐๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ช๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ. Many of this series' questions are about the misunderstandings that exist around ultrasonic anti-fouling and its workings. ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ appears to be the talk of the town. So we are sure you are keen to hear the answer to our first question: "Some claim that ultrasonic anti-fouling can clean a surface of marine growth.

The Wilson ASA Plymouth was in Willebroek - look it up on the map, it is way, way into Belgium's heartland, between Antwerp and Brussels. Never imagined that a seagoing bulk carrier could be off-loaded so far inland. The Plymouth has our system on board. Shipsonic received a message: 'the control unit has a flashing red light'. The crew explained that two transducers hadn't been installed. We decided to go and have a look. Why were the transducers not installed? How to solve

Shipsonic competes well with ultrasonic anti-fouling competitors (๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ 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 โ you donโt 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 ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ-๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฎ


A simple graphic, a powerful message.
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

This wonderful building full of curved shapes, suits our Travel Transducer very well. Shipsonic may not design iconic buildings, we definitely designed something that works very well on round surfaces. If you want to protect your water intake pipe, we only need you to send us the outer diameter (or the outer circumference) of the pipe and we will custom-make the installation rings and the transducer, to exactly fit seemlessly on your curvy parts. It can be on your bow (stern)

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.

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

PortXL invited me to pitch for Superconnectors. It was a totally different format from normal startup pitches: just 2 minutes to explain what your company needs. Then five minutes for an extremely well-connected audience to rain bids on you for introductions to all the big shipping companies.

You can now discuss your vesselsโ fouling issues with the Shipsonic team. We can take half an hour to hear from you which your biggest head-aches are and to explore if we ourselves or some other solutions should be trialled. To make an appointment for the clinic, kindly first fill out this questionnaire https://lnkd.in/erJK9irB for one of your vessels. We will then contact you for an appointment.

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
