Propeller & Bow Thruster Disentanglement — Marseille

A fouled propeller or bow thruster is usually a same-day problem, not a haul-out problem. We inspect the shaft, propeller, and thruster tunnel by camera to assess exactly what's wrapped and how tightly, then clear it using a subsea robotic claw and cutting tools sized for line, rope, and netting — without divers working blind in a confined thruster tunnel.

Why it matters in Marseille

France's largest port, and home to DRASSM — France's national department for underwater archaeological research — reflecting the Mediterranean coast's density of documented ancient wreck sites nearby.

A major commercial port sitting alongside France's own underwater archaeology authority makes Marseille a genuine fit for both vessel/infrastructure survey work and non-invasive heritage-site documentation.

Deliverable

A cleared shaft or thruster, confirmed by post-clearance inspection, with a before/after record.
