Underwater Hull Inspections, Cleaning & Propeller Maintenance – How Weser Maritim Prevents Damage, Ensures Compliance & Improves Fuel Efficiency

Underwater hull inspections are essential for preserving a vessel’s structural integrity, enhancing fuel efficiency, and ensuring compliance with maritime regulations. Regular inspections help prevent corrosion, fractures, and hull fouling, reducing operational costs and maintaining seaworthiness.

Propeller maintenance is equally crucial, as a well-maintained propeller minimizes vibrations, improves propulsion efficiency, and lowers energy consumption.

Weser Maritim offers advanced underwater repair services, including high-resolution inspections, ultrasonic thickness measurements, and in-situ welding. Their team of expert divers and engineers provides rapid response solutions for unexpected hull damage and propeller malfunctions.

Case studies highlight Weser Maritim’s success in preventing major hull damage and ensuring compliance through propeller maintenance. Their services help shipowners avoid costly drydock repairs, reduce fuel consumption, and meet regulatory standards.

By partnering with Weser Maritim, vessel owners benefit from rapid response, technical expertise, comprehensive solutions, and global service coverage, ensuring reliable and efficient underwater maintenance.

We learned about different jobs today, and something that I found rather interesting was underwater welding!!! It’s like normal welding, only you’re diving at the same time!! Also it’s much more dangerous due to this. Anyway, have a doodle I did for a poster!!

[worldswin]

As there are many types of welding and methods of use in projects, for example there are welding of constructions and iron in buildings, welding of pipes, welding in Petroleum sector, underwater welding, ship welding, aluminium welding...

The problem is that, for me, what determines whether a post is successful or a flop is entirely based on whether or not I get mutuals reblogging it and tagging it something like “fuck off” “bad post bestie” “good post bestie” or “wow you’re so cute and funny and everyone loves you Delia”. So if I make a post that gets a couple hundred notes but I don’t hear feedback from the mutuals it’s very much a flop to me

i've been enjoying my stay on weldingtok for the past few years and i think it's high time for an atla welding au

The only way in which selling sex is exceptional as a form of work is that it involves having sex.

Sex work is not more emotionally intimate than all other forms of work. Emotional intimacy can be involved in therapy, care work, and writing about deeply personal topics.

Sex work is not the only form of work which can involve genital contact. This happens in medical environments, care work and when giving genital piercings.

Sex work is not uniquely dangerous. Fishing, construction and underwater welding all have high fatality and injury rates.

Sex work is not more prone to trafficking than all other forms of work. People are trafficked in huge numbers in the agricultural industry and for the manufacture of textiles.

Sex work is not the only form of work which involves frequent sexual harassment. People are often sexually harassed whilst doing bar work, waiting tables and providing health care and social assistance.

Sex work is not the only type of work that is criminalized. Other types of work like busking without a license, drug dealing, con artistry and any kind of job which requires authorisation form a third party where that isn't obtained.

Stop it with the sex work exceptionalism! Treat it like other work.

Imagine Annabeth and Percy have a kid early, unplanned and it kinda fucks with their finances so Percy drops out of school to get a job so he can care for the kid and support Annabeth in school. At first he gets a job teaching kids sword fighting but then he hears about underwater welding which pays well because it’s dangerous but Percy is a child of the sea so it’s much less so for him. His boss is even willing to give him flexible hours which means Annabeth doesn’t have to take their kid to class anymore and they can actually afford daycare (why does is it the price of a mortgage nowadays???). A huge financial burden is lifted and Percy doesn’t mind the work so it’s good all the way around.

Fast forward to when Annabeth is done her masters in architecture and lands a job at a top firm. They’ve got savings and have Annabeth’s income to rely on. Percy heads back to school and finishes a degree in marine biology, going on to research some really niche topics like how underwater welding impacts the environment and shifting from there until he’s a well known expert in the field.

Just them finding their way. Supporting each other and landing on their feet no matter what

OKAY OKAY. it's citrus .. doing as I promised

Listen. Angst.. now I haven't read all of your curly stuff yet so let me know if you've done this yet.

But a little fic where it shows the reader and Curly before the crash, and then after. You can make this romantic or platonic, but basically show how the dynamic changes and tension rises. Start fluffy and then hit us with the biggest boulder of angst you can write. Make me cry.

New Life

WARNINGS: descriptions of death, blood, injuries, and murder

"Maybe I don't want to be a captain anymore." Curly murmured to you. The shipped hummed around him, peacefully unaware of its captain's blasphemous words, instead focused on slowly raising the lights up to stimulate an artificial sunrise. "Maybe. . . I dunno. . ."

You curled further into his side, tucking your face into the crook of his neck. The arm that was supporting your head curls around, calloused fingers tracing along your temple, into your hairline.

"'Kay." You hummed, sleep still clinging to your lashes. Curly carefully cleared the sand with his thumb. "Okay. Let's find something new."

"That's it?" Curly asked you, a little surprised by the ease at which you accepted. He expected more pushback, since this was so. . . settled, easy, routine.

"What else is there?" You asked back. Slowly, your eyes fluttered open. You couldn't see much past the shade of Curly's neck, but you could feel the flutter of his heart beneath the palm splayed across his bare chest. "You want to do something new, so let's do something new."

"You really want to?"

"You're not getting rid of me." You said, smiling as Curly rumbled with laughter. "Let's get settled back home, put in our notices, then explore some options. I hear underwater welding pays pretty well."

Curly laughed louder. "Like you would get into one of those suits. You hate doing space walks."

"Who said I was doing it?"

Curly rolled over, pinning you beneath his body. He just grinned at your protests and squirming, rubbing his cheek to yours how he knew you pretended to hate. The scratchiness of his facial hair always made you giggle, despite how you tried to hide it.

Only when you squealed did he relent, lying at your side once more. He could see your face now, splotchy and pinched with the fake anger and barely hidden smile. It relaxed into a more peaceful expression after a moment, one that Curly wanted to see for the rest of his life.

He couldn't wait.

~

"Jimmy. . ." You said, hands gripping the side of Curly's cot. He watched, heart pounding, as Jimmy stepped closer to you, his knife glinted in the reddish lights of the fake window. "Come on. . ."

"I'm gonna fix this." Jimmy said, a certain firmness to his desperate tone. "You're not going to stop me from fixing this."

"None of this is fixable!" You hissed back at him. Your arm swung out, gesturing to the blood and the gore that littered the floor from the downfalls of your fellow crewmates. "Jimmy, you fucked up. You fucked up, and there's no fixing it!"

Curly felt the burn spread through his shoulders as they twitched and jerked. He couldn't grab you, couldn't even try to protect you, not like this. Jimmy had lost his mind somewhere between the stars, and Curly was too blind to see it.

Now Jimmy's rage was palpable. "SHUT UP!" He swung the knife, barely missing your face even as you leaned back. "Like you would know ANYTHING! You're nothing more than a personal whore for your beloved captain. Shame he can't keep up with you anymore-"

Your foot shot out, kicking Jimmy right in the stomach. The man staggered back with a wheeze, hunched over yet somehow still gripping his knife.

"You'd think that, wouldn't you?" You said, venom dripping from your words. Curly had never heard you so angry, yet so very calm. "After all, the only people who ever loved you had to be paid!"

Jimmy let something out, from the depths of his very chest, a cry of malice and shrill hatred that grinded on what was left of Curly's ears. He winced, only to gasp when Jimmy wound back and threw his knife at you.

It hit instantly, the force knocking you back into the cot. You hit hard enough to knock the legs out, sending both you and Curly both onto the floor.

Pain wracked through Curly's very nerves, sending tears to his one remaining eye as he eventually settled onto the ground. He couldn't blink, but the tears helped clear the fuzzy pain from his eye enough to see you lying at his side. . .

The knife had pierced deep into your right eye.

"D-damn bastard." Jimmy gasped, somewhere Curly couldn't see. No, all he could do was stare at your face, slack and losing color as the wound bled and bled and bled. "It. . . They shouldn't have said that! I wasn't gonna kill them. . ."

Likely story, Curly distantly thought, still gazing at you. Your remaining eye had faded in light, dull and blankly staring back.

"I'm gonna fix this."

Hands curled under Curly. He gasped, groaning and crying out as he was lifted and you disappeared from his view.

"I'm. . . I'm gonna fix this." Jimmy uttered, carrying the squirming Curly out of the medbay. "Don't worry, Curly. . ."

A sob escaped the burnt, broken man.

"We'll escape this fucking life together."

[boimgfrog]

it's always "autism acceptance" until the autistic person is weird, or fat, or a man, or has poor hygiene, or a POC, or makes unfunny jokes, or isn't a cute feminine gay, or is actually bad at communicating, or needs to have things explained to them, or is too loud, or too quiet, or needs to be told something multiple times to understand it, or has mannerisms that make people stare at them, or, or, or, etc. if you would show patience to the cute autistic girl who collects plushies and stims by flapping her hands then you MUST show equal patience to the large autistic boy who stims by humming or hitting his head and worms underwater welding into every conversation. I am no longer asking. your acceptance cannot begin and end with people you deem palatable.

Kwazii And Tweak Dynamic Headcanons

<rough sketch sorry lol>

@traumatizedartist

They are ✨SIBLINGS✨ to me-

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm 1000% sure neither one remembers to do their laundry all the time so they totally steal eachothers clothes 😭

The big sister of thr octopod and our tiny daredevil gremlin?!!

cmon yall remember the earlier seasons though 🥺 hed crash a gup or sneak out in the middle of the night drive the gup b (and she always woke up whenever he left she has that rabbit hearing)- she has the Big Sister Authority, she just let's you use the gups 😔🙏 u better be grateful kwazii

Him KNOWING he'd be in so much trouble when he snuck out to *try* to teach shellington to drive-

(They canoncially ended up both crashing after shellington imitated kwazii CRASHING and then shellie was like "owh no! We should call tweak :o"

and kwazii immeditaly yelled out NO-i I i mean we can do it ourselves! Its fine! <:] no need to tell tweak matie"

Not to mention he looks up to her and calls her a genius???

Tweak loves this little guy and his antics though 😭 she loves to see him happy but she's really the type to either encourage the mischief (like girl we all know u did not need to make flying fish mode really ans truly u did that for the silly cat) or be the one yo get him into trouble 😭

He def doesn't crash the gups like before, but I feel like at a certain point she absolutely made him help her. I headcanon that he actually started helping her alot more with repairs and etc as time went on, hes not some engineering genius but he can help

They're also both so proud of eachother and trust eachother so deeply, esp in The Ring Of Fire where they both had to escape the flooded (and on fire???) Underwater base that tweak used for big gup repairs and upkeep

Tweak loves old classic games and kwazii never really had too much exposure to popular media, unless u count his comics lol, I feel like autism meets adhd with them yk? U can't convince me that tweak wouldn't have introduced him to sonic the hedgehog and that he wouldn't have LOVED it

They have banter and inside jokes and they know eachothers habits and needs yk?

They look out for eachother, whether its trying to prevent the other (kwazii cough cough) from getting into trouble or being the one willing to risk their own safety to make sure the other is ok 🥺

Also for my own au kwazii did spend a considerable amount of his teen years alone, meanwhile tweak just has the autism where u do not know how to "live normally and properly take care of urself"

They both have atrocious sleep schedules me thinks, with kwaziis adhd making him be up at random hours and tweak falling deep into the rabbit hole (pun INTENDED)of engineering and working

I think he helps remind her to take care of herself without any judgement you know

Tweak is the type of person to not judge anyone either and just hear you out i think and kwazii seems like the type who would go waddle in a seamp for hours to dig out the necklace you lost just so u could be happy

So yes they love eachother and they mean the world to me 🥺

Kwazii is just so excited about everything this woman does lol, and she's like oh God this guy really is somethin and I think thats great

Shes just like sure hun to him yapping for 3 + hours about his idea to add fcking canons or some sht to the gups as she's welding stuff together

Also I think kwazii would be a decent mechanic for the gups after all the years of practice with tweaks supervision and teaching i mean he has whole mini pirate ship replicas in jars for crying out loud, as long as he can keep his brain engaged i think he has the ability to do precision work and repairs, esp since he did sail on his own by himself for years anyways

Woods pretty different from metal but tweak is patient with him, even if her "oh u fcked up" glare (and the weight of its consequences) could absolutely smite you on the spot

I might be forgetting some stuff but yall see the vision right, but lmk yalls headcanons n all that lol

ALSO ANY CULTURAL HEADCANONS I HAVE ABOUT TWEAK IS OBJECTIVELY CORRECT CUZ IM FROM THERE TOO ( I'm joking lol people can have different opinions duh, but fr i just i feel connected to her in my soul 🥺)

(Like girlie kwaziis room is better than yours, why the fck don't u have a dresser but instead just a whole *ss kitchen table? Not bed frame, no decent lighting, repair parts on your floor its a mess- like i feel you tweak I've been there, but bbg its been years and im sure the other crew members have talked to u about this, atp its a CHOICE and honestly continueing to live like that is real)

[totallynotobsessedwithfandoms]

Random ninjago headcanons

Nya, Jay, PIXAL, and Zane are the most mechanically gifted of the team

Jay used to love building cars and big mechanical things but as he got older he started getting more interested in coding

Now Nya builds the things and Jay helps her code them

Zane taught Cole how to cook and bake better

Lloyd looks normal. Like freakishly normal. Like, skin too perfect of a shade, eyes too symmetrical, hair the perfect shade of blonde, etc.

Kai hates swimming but loves the beach because it’s nice and warm and sunny

Zane follows to the law to a concerning degree

PIXAL…does not

She considers the law more guidelines than actual rules

Jay and Lloyd taught Kai how to use his cellphone

Nya and Zane have who can hold their breath underwater the longest contests

The rest of the team finally started liking cliff gordon movies after Jay told them that was his bio dad

The rest of the ninja had tons of recurring dreams about someone asking them to wish it all away 

Jay and Nya finally told them everything that had happened

Jay’s hair was always curly, he just didn’t know when he was younger and brushed it out weirdly so it was a frizzy mess and then he would tame it with tons of hair gel

Pre-season 8 Jay is the only person to ever come close to rivaling the amount of hair gel Kai uses

No one really has their own clothes at the momentary because everyone raids everyone’s closets

ESPECIALLY Nya and Lloyd

Lloyd started it when he was really little, Nya started it as a show of power

Now everyone steals everyone’s clothes

The only way PIXAL can change her hair is using welding

She only trusts Nya to help her with that

Jay and Nya take weekly ballroom dancing classes

After Prime Empire the rest of the ninja will sometimes join them

Usually Cole

Lloyd calls Kai and Nya his brother and sister in his head but he hasn’t had the guts to call them that out loud

Every so often the ninja do karaoke

Jay and Nya always do some sort of romantic duet (with varying degrees of success) 

Kai, Cole, and Jay team up to sing rock songs

Zane is a surprisingly good singer 

So is Lloyd

Jay stayed in touch with Unagami after prime empire 

Cole and Vania write letters to each other on the regular, usually filled with whatever dumb stuff the ninja did and what the Upply and other inhabitants of Shintaro are currently up to

The ninja have a giant groupchat with all the elemental masters and the only texts ever sent are usually embarrassing photos of someone screwing up their own element 

Zane might be the mom of the group but Kai is concerningly good at any and all type of housework

Cole is the middle child. I stand by this

Jay has way too many pins and buttons on his backpack

Lloyd has a massive sweet tooth

He and Cole go for candy and cake runs whenever they can 

Jay is not allowed to go shopping because he buys the most random things

Kai and Jay are the clumsiest ninja

Ever since PIXAL became part of the ninja Cyrus Borg has begun to consider the ninja as his children as well

All of the ninja are insanely competitive

Nya helped Cole get over his fear of water after turning back to human

Dareth and Ronin are the ninja’s weird uncle 

Jay loves musical theatre

Kai, Jay, and Cole recreated the Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon versus Maul fight while Zane sang/played the music. young Lloyd recorded it and now threatens to show it to Nya and PIXAL whenever everyone’s being stupid

PIXAL curses the most out of everyone

Kai doesn’t curse because when he was younger he tried to keep Nya from learning curse words and that transferred to Lloyd as well

Jay’s natural freckles are super light and unable to see unless you’re super close up

Nya was the first to find out he had freckles one of the first times they were cuddling together after season 6

She absolutely adored them and so he draws over them with a darker pencil so that they’re more visible 

Jay loves drawing and doodling but doesn’t get into painting until after seabound 

Cole and Nya have arm wrestling contests 

Zane almost always wins paper rock clamp, the only people who can ever beat him is PIXAL and weirdly Kai

Kai is great at riddles. no idea why

One time Jay put food dye in Kai’s hair gel and he didn’t notice 

Kai’s hair had a blue sheen for weeks

The resulting prank war nearly destroyed the monestary 

It ended when someone managed to fill each person’s room with things relating to their elemental power

Zane’s room was full of ice and snow, everything in Nya’s room was soaked with water, Kai’s furniture was on fire, Jay’s blankets were so full of static electricity he nearly knocked himself out, Cole’s room was packed full of boulders, PIXAL’s room was somehow full of a ton of remote controlled robots, and Lloyd’s room was full of green balloons. 

They never did find the culprit 

(Master Wu had gotten so fed up with the prank war that he had contacted Skylor, who was all to happy to help)

[ Model Making Part 2 ]

Painter from Confluence

He took about a week to make. His head is able to tilt side to side, you can pose his arms and the fingers and the legs. I made a underwater welding box to go with him and a stand to keep him up right. You can additionally include the guns he uses as well. It's not the best quality but that's fine. I'm still proud of it.

@inkspottie he's real. >:]

[toxooz]

What hobbies outside of skating does the gang have ??

mmm well Ollie welds for his '''real job''' plus he just makes a fuckload of weapons even if its illegal to use them where he is pffft Remy plays video games ALOT and probably has a streaming channel, i feel like Oscar is part of an underwater club where they nerd out over sunken structures and tour sunken ships, planes ect. Abby does a lot of medical research as well as space, Kari likes to perfect her baking skills as well as experiment with recipes, Ponti does random shit everyday and has the craziest stories cause hes just a lizard in a city hes still trying to figure out his life aside from skateboarding lmao, Vinny plays video games a lot too or practices for his band class 🎺

[meet-me-in-the-kitchen]

also the fact I went to the optometrist and he was telling me how dentistry is so much better than getting an md because of the payout 💀

going into medicine really means rejecting short-term gratification for long-term gratification

[warriorend-2]

Went and rewatched a recording of KBOOM I did (mostly for personal reference) and. It is an interesting detail to me, because of the whole "Welcome, Agent Phoenix" thing on the cabin screen, it leads me to believe that there was something going on there that just. Doesn't get covered except indirectly in various lines.

Roxana says she doesn't have access to the lava generator systems in her cabin, which. she does have access to a lot of stuff in her cabin that Phoenix just doesn't have, but it's interesting that that gets mentioned, because those lava generators get used Constantly. In terms of the lava generators alone and the ability to move the lava between the cabins, Phoenix's cabin almost behaves like an admin cabin, in a sense.

It also has a forge, and a parameters panel. Roxana might have the parameters panel on the other cabins, but given she does parameters when she's in the central...tower area, I'm unsure.

The screwdriver is something Phoenix probably brought, but the metal just kind of laying around, and the forge templates, those were probably there from the start, along with the cans of butane and...liquid nitrogen iirc. And the welding mask.

This is all probably mostly to make the level doable, but there's a lot more direct interaction between Zor and Phoenix in the third game, which. if there's that much direct interaction, it just strikes me as a bit odd that it's always. pretty convenient. The shield generator is just left in the underwater lab, free for the taking. With a demonstration of the kinesium chain destabilization and a guide on how to use the shield generator.

If I read this as pure like. Story wise. Not bothering with the game needing to be beatable or fair:

-The shield generator is just left behind in the underwater lab, which...seems like an odd enough decision on its own. It can block kinesium explosions, that feels like something that'd be kept under pretty tight security, and Zor knew that Phoenix would be going to the lab anyway considering they leave a tape. And instructions. And a demonstration. Yes the demonstration was a power play but it was a demonstration of how their Big Evil Plan worked.

-Zor does slip a little threat in the tape recording, to be fair ("know whatever end you meet"), but. In all honesty I mostly read that as saying it for the sake of keeping up appearances. Doesn't make much sense if they actually expected Phoenix to die down there. Even with the squid.

-Zor sets up the explosion at Roxana's factory, which kills all her robots and was apparently intended to kill her. They seem mildly surprised when she's alive in KBOOM, though they shake it off pretty quickly. It's entirely possible Phoenix was "supposed" to go into KBOOM with the shield generator, given it was just left free for the taking during Hot Water.

-Phoenix's cabin in KBOOM has the ability to control and use the lava generators, a forge for making various bits and pieces, metal for the forge, and...very conveniently everything they'd need to interface with the destabilizers. This could be chalked up to them getting lucky and getting in just the right cabin, but. well.

and oh, huh. the laser grid relies on a set of gears that have a very easy cover to remove. and hey would you look at this can of convenient liquid nitrogen, or this screwdriver, or-

-Everything about Zor's little speech at the end weighs on my mind constantly. I've mentioned their tone before so I'm going to skip that. There's a very specific line in their final speech I'd like to dwell on for a moment, if you'll pardon me.

That being this line.

I'm going to play semantics for a second because god damn if I didn't take a lot of classes in high school where wording was a Constant Thing.

Obviously Roxana believed her robots were better than Phoenix for most of the game, that's not what I'm questioning. I'm questioning why the word "fooled" specifically. Not "you convinced Prism to believe in you" or "you made Prism believe in you", it's just. fooled.

Zor has obviously seen Phoenix pull their plans apart like string cheese on multiple different occasions by this point, and seems to base various plans on the fact that they'll survive various trials, so I don't read this as them doubting Phoenix's skills or abilities. What they're doubting, I'm not sure exactly.

I'm putting this under a disclaimer: It's entirely possible that my own personal interpretation of Phoenix is going to have some amount of influence here. Maybe everything I'm reading out of this is BS and I just have confirmation bias, but this section did make me adjust my interpretation of Phoenix somewhat, so there's influence going both ways.

I will write out the full speech, just for convenience:

"So you fooled Prism into believing in you. Well, even the great Agent Phoenix will eventually burn out. Believe me when I say there is nothing left in the Agency worth saving. I would know. Be seeing you."

The way this reads to me does not necessarily imply "you're going to die and lose one of these days", because there's a lot of other stuff going on here.

There's the fact that Zor uses the phrasing of "burn out" to refer to Phoenix, because. burning is sort of what phoenixes do, like that's their whole Thing. Split in half, I could probably read it as saying, effectively, either "one of these days, you'll die" or "you should ditch the Agency before they get you killed", and just take it at that, but without that split, neither of those really feel. complete.

Maybe they're just trying to throw Phoenix off, unsettle them a bit, but this specific little monologue reads as something more to the effect of "good job fooling people (possibly even yourself) into thinking you're just the Agency's little back-pocket weapon, but you know they're kind of worthless, right? See ya later, "phoenix"" it's a very crass and flat way of writing out the way i interpreted it, but it gets the point across.

Maybe Zor knows more about Phoenix than they let on. Maybe they're just talking bullshit and trying to get under Phoenix's skin. Maybe it's both. Maybe it's neither, and I'm overthinking it, and they do genuinely just think Phoenix isn't as good as they seem. But. Yknow.

They wanted Phoenix captured alive in the second game. If Phoenix is really that much a thorn in their side, why not do what Juniper suggested and just shoot them while they were unconscious? Phoenix was vulnerable after they got captured. Vulnerable and practically in Zor's hands. The Peace Summit was apparently a plan "years in the making", but they didn't. Stop Phoenix. What Juniper did was the equivalent of sticking a cat in a carrier and telling it to stay.
