Case Study: Propeller Bulk Carrier
In collaboration with a major international ship management company, we conducted a test with the Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling System to protect the propeller of a large bulk carrier. The propeller of this vessel has a diameter of 8.4 meters. This case study describes the general problems of fouling on propellers, the installation of our Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling […]

Ministry of Defense Chooses Sustainability with the Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling System
In 2019, Lamers System Care installed the Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling system on 11 landing craft of the Ministry of Defense to keep them free from fouling in a sustainable manner. The Royal Navy, as part of the Ministry of Defense, deploys its fleet and marines worldwide for security on and from the sea. Sustainability is important […]
Box Cooler Protection for LNG Bunker Vessel
Lamers System Care has recently completed the installation of the Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling system on a new LNG bunker vessel. One Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention system has been installed to protect 4 box coolers (2 on starboard, 2 on port). LNG stands for Liquid Natural Gas. It is a liquid with an extremely low temperature. The volume […]
Multiple Installations for Major Tugboat Company
We are pleased to report that some time ago we received orders for 3 sister ships from a major Belgian tugboat company. All three installations on the ships have now been completed and the ships are equipped with the Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention system. With the Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling system, the cooling water intake lines, sea chests, […]
Increasing Fuel Consumption Due to Propeller Fouling
Fouling on the underwater hull creates resistance that reduces sailing speed and is therefore detrimental to the efficiency of the ship’s propulsion. When this loss of sailing speed is compensated by using more engine power, fuel consumption naturally increases. Until recently, the magnitude of this effect was unknown. In the past, various studies have been […]
Fantastic Results with Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling Systems
Lamers System Care has installed an Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention system on the mud boxes and seawater cooling lines for a Dutch organization. They had serious fouling issues in their piping and mud boxes, as seen in photo 1. This photo was taken without the installation of the Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention system and only 3 months […]
Excellent Results on Sea Strainers with Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling System
13 months after installing the Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling system on a Boluda Towage Europe tugboat, the vessel remains free from fouling. At Sint Annastrand, in August 2019, we installed one Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention system to keep the seawater pipes, sea strainers (see photos), and crossovers free from fouling. These previously experienced significant fouling problems, leading to […]
