Offshore Towing & Prop Detanglement

Offshore Towing and Prop Detanglement Services

Assistance for Vessels Experiencing Underwater Issues

Vessels operating offshore can encounter unexpected issues such as fouled propellers or loss of propulsion. In Southwest Florida waters, fishing line, rope, and debris are common causes of prop entanglement. Professional offshore assistance helps address these problems safely and efficiently. Trained divers evaluate the situation below the surface before corrective action is taken. Prompt support helps reduce the risk of further damage and restores safe operation.

Safe and Controlled Propeller Detanglement

Propeller detanglement requires precision and careful handling to avoid damage to running gear. Divers assess entanglement severity and surrounding conditions before beginning removal. Specialized underwater tools are used to cut and clear debris in a controlled manner. This approach helps protect shafts, seals, and propeller components. Proper detanglement reduces vibration and restores normal vessel performance.
