You can admire our control unit, two connected transducers (see, hear and feel them!) as well as a radius transducer suitable for curved surfaces.

When you have a Shipsonic system on board, make sure it doesn't sound like a 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗲. 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. It will then sound like a 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Then Shipsonic can do its 🅐🅝🅣🅘-🅕🅞🅤🅛🅘🅝🅖 🅜🅐🅖🅘🅒.

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

A quick phone call on Wednesday, from Rohde Nielsen. We are dry docking now, in Vlissingen. We are unhappy with the ICAF performance. Can you deliver your system by next Wednesday? You are so nearby. Well, we actually were in Delfzijl at that moment, diagonally the other end of The Netherlands. We cancelled our meetings. We drove home. The client meanwhile sent all the technical drawings and specifications. Same night Rohde Nielsen received a quote for their good vessel, the

Shipsonic is visiting several vessels in Portugal to understand their engine cooling systems, under the great guidance of Pedro Sousa de Jesus. We most often install on box-coolers, but the fouling issues on vessels using plate coolers are just as interesting and definitely treatable with the Shipsonic ultrasonic anti-fouling systems. The past few days we have seen short-sea container vessels, bulk carriers and other vessels, each with their fouling issues. The mussel is typ

For Shipsonic, if a system doesn’t work fully it doesn’t work at all. We work closely with mussel farming experts. They can tell you how hard it is to grow mussels, which means that mussel fouling is something that often won’t happen at a

Shipsonic is currently selling almost all its systems in just two countries. The maritime industry by definition goes beyond national boundaries. We want to get traction in more countries. Already the nomination (1 of 30 SME companies) gives us access to great export support services: Netherlands Enterprise Agency Coach support us to identify our needs Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken (Min.

It is a great honour for Shipsonic to have been chosen as the most reliable, environmentally friendly and robust anti-fouling for box-coolers. We appreciate the selection process by Van Wijngaarden Marine Services B.V., Kooiman Marine Group and NRF (Nederlandse Radiateuren Fabriek) and we are proud to be part of the Rijnstroom project.

Finally we received our latest batch of the Ultra Tester© version 1.4.2026. Ever wonder how much sound your ultrasonic anti-fouling actually delivers? The Shipsonic designed (very much by Chiel de Wit), built and copy-right protected device can measure the SPL - Sound Pressure Level. We use this to check if the ultrasonic sound from our transducers is properly transferred into the object we need to protect against fouling. #SPL #soundpressurelevel #effectivenessmeasurement #U

While Shipsonic has monitored very carefully on all its installations, even some cases that have been running for more than 10 years, it never observed any metal fatigue.

As Chiel de Wit explains: if a fishing vessel has fish finders, net management equipment, or a platform supply vessel has a dynamic position system, it may cause interference with Shipsonic continuous ultrasonic sound. To solve this, Shipsonic has a piece of software which can instruct individual systems to skip the specific ultrasonic frequenc

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

Either they revert to plate-coolers, or they switch to keel coolers. Why are some in the maritime industry unhappy with box-coolers? There are so many advantages to box-coolers, how can the disadvantages make them unattractive to some? Th

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

This photo was taken during one of our recent installations. It shows how Shipsonic’s software can be installed and updated instantly. It also allows the client to reconfigure the system, if he has decided to add additional channels to our modular units. So far we have always been able to guide staff onboard to do this themselves since the software is very user friendly. For the nerds: Shipsonic uses embedded software. This means that our engineers design the combination of h

The Framfjord is a vessel of just 67 meters long. See photo 1 for aft of MV Framfjord in dock in Stettin. The Framfjord was designed for rapid emergency goods delivery all over the world. The Red Cross ordered the vessel to be built in 2006, in Croatia. It was small enough to offload in all types of ports and offloading locations, such as river mouths/estuaries. It has complete independent loading and offloading equipment on board. It was at the same time equipped to be as in
