Dry ice blasting for boats & nautical structures

Encrusted hulls, greasy engines, rusted structures: dry ice blasting removes marine growth, anti-fouling paint and mechanical deposits without solvent, without water, without abrasion, on any nautical surface.

Why dry ice blasting

A technology built for nautical constraints

No solvent, no pollution

No chemical product released into the environment. Ideal for interventions in shipyards, ports or dry docks where effluents are regulated.

Compatible with fibreglass & aluminium

Pressure is adjusted to the material: fibreglass, aluminium, steel, GRP. No risk of delamination or gel coat removal when parameters are correctly set.

Optimal surface preparation

After dry ice blasting, the surface is perfectly clean and dry, ideal for direct application of a new coat of anti-fouling or epoxy paint.

Eco-friendly & compliant

Zero liquid waste, zero hazardous product. Only the loosened paint chips and growth need to be collected, much simpler to manage than chemical effluent.

What we clean

Interventions on all your nautical structures

01

Hulls & keels

Removal of worn anti-fouling paint, marine growth and deposits before applying new protection.

02

Outboard & inboard engines

Complete degreasing of marine engines, propulsion units and drive systems. Removal of carbonised deposits and fuel residue.

03

Metal structures

Cleaning of masts, booms, guardrails and structures in aluminium or stainless steel on sailboats and motorboats.

04

Decks & superstructures

Cleaning of teak, fibreglass or aluminium decks, fore and aft decks and superstructures without damaging anti-slip coatings.

05

Barges & river vessels

Cleaning of hulls, engine rooms and metal structures of barges and river vessels on Belgian waterways.

06

Professional nautical vessels

Work boats, public service vessels, professional crafts: cleaning in shipyard or on site depending on constraints.

Frequently asked questions

Nautical cleaning

Pressure must be carefully adjusted for fibreglass hulls, as too high a pressure could damage the gel coat. Icetec systematically performs a test on a discreet area before the full intervention. We adapt the parameters to each hull type and surface condition.
Yes, this is one of the major advantages. After dry ice blasting, the surface is perfectly clean and dry. No drying time is needed. The new coat of anti-fouling can be applied immediately, considerably reducing dry dock time.
Both. For hulls, intervention generally takes place in dry dock or on land. For accessible superstructures, engines and structures, we can intervene directly at the dock depending on access conditions and port regulations.
Yes. Icetec operates throughout Belgium and Luxembourg, including marinas, shipyards and mooring areas on inland waterways: Meuse, Sambre, Central Canal, Scheldt and their tributaries.
