Professional Propeller Entanglement Removal Services in Scandinavia and Worldwide

At Delta Marine Scandinavia AB, we specialize in Propeller Entanglement Removal — a fast, safe, and class-approved service designed to free your vessel’s propulsion system from ropes, nets, wires, and debris without the need for dry-docking.

Our certified commercial diving teams are trained to respond to propeller entanglements in all conditions — whether alongside berth, at anchorage, or at sea.

Using advanced cutting and inspection tools, we remove obstructions and inspect for potential damage to ensure your vessel returns to full operational condition quickly and safely.

We understand that propeller entanglements are unexpected, time-sensitive emergencies, often resulting in schedule delays and potential damage. That’s why Delta Marine Scandinavia AB offers 24/7 rapid response services across Scandinavia and Worldwide.

Why Propeller Entanglement Removal Is Critical

Ropes, fishing nets, mooring lines, and other debris can easily become wrapped around a vessel’s propeller, shaft, or rudder. If not addressed quickly, this can lead to:

  • Engine overload or complete propulsion failure
  • Seal damage and oil leakage
  • Vibration and shaft misalignment
  • Costly dry-dock repairs
  • Schedule delays and fuel inefficiency

Our underwater propeller entanglement removal service eliminates these risks through immediate, precise intervention — performed by divers experienced in high-stress underwater operations.

Our Propeller Entanglement Removal Process

Each intervention is handled by a qualified dive team following strict safety and technical protocols:

  1. Initial Inspection: Divers conduct a video or visual assessment to identify the type and extent of entanglement.
  2. Stabilization: Propeller and shaft are secured to prevent movement during cutting operations.
  3. Cutting & Removal: Using hydraulic cutters, saws, or rope knives, divers carefully remove all entangled material — ropes, wires, or nets.
  4. Propeller & Seal Inspection: After removal, divers inspect blades, seals, and shafts for potential damage.
  5. Testing: We verify free rotation and check for vibration or residual obstruction.
  6. Documentation: A detailed photo and video report is delivered within hours of completion.

Every job is performed according to IMCA, DNV, and Lloyd’s Register safety standards, ensuring both diver safety and vessel integrity.
