Did you know
- Hydrex was established fifty years ago in Antwerp, growing into a company that the shipping and offshore industry relies on for maintenance and repairs. The company, along with its sister company Subsea Industries, was founded by Boud Van Rompay with a focus on clean rivers, seas, and oceans.
- Hydrex Subsea (Rotterdam) is part of Hydrex's global network of offices and support bases, offering fast underwater ship repair and maintenance solutions. The Rotterdam office is one of several fast response centers, including those in Antwerp, Tampa (U.S.A), and Algeciras (Spain), equipped to provide immediate service.
- The primary strength of Hydrex Subsea (Rotterdam) lies in its ability to perform high-quality underwater hull cleaning and propeller polishing, along with various repairs, without requiring vessels to enter drydock. This allows ships to remain operational, saving owners significant time and money by avoiding off-hire periods and drydocking expenses.
| Service | Key Benefit | Environmental Impact | Fuel Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrex Subsea (Rotterdam) Hull Cleaning | Maintains hull smoothness, preventing fouling and improving performance without drydocking. | Utilizes in-house designed equipment and methods to clean hulls without damaging coatings or polluting the marine environment. | Contributes to significant fuel savings by reducing drag caused by fouling. |
