Delta Systems B.V., a Dutch company with a long history of providing environmental solutions for the marine and offshore industries, is the developer of Shipsonic —an innovative and proven ultrasonic system for the preventive control of biofouling in harsh environments.

Since 2006, Shipsonic has been one of the global leaders in non-invasive anti-fouling solutions, offering 100% clean technology, manufactured entirely in the Netherlands, and engineering standards that meet the maritime industry’s most stringent requirements.

How Ultrasonic Prevention Works

The Shipsonic system uses ultrasonic emitters that transmit vibrations at specific frequency ranges to submerged structures, preventing the attachment of fouling organism larvae. The continuous vibration disrupts the biological colonization process, making the environment hostile to the attachment of barnacles, mussels, algae, and other marine organisms.

This method operates on a purely physical basis , without the use of chemicals, without generating effluents, and without causing any harm to the marine environment.

Shipsonic’s Technical and Operational Advantages

• Indoor installation, with no need for docking or structural modifications
• Quick commissioning (plug-and-play), with no impact on vessel operations
• System requiring no periodic maintenance, with an extended service life
• Heavy-Duty Application – designed for demanding environments and continuous exposure
• Significant reduction in operational downtime
• Quiet, stable, and environmentally responsible technology
• Eliminates the use of biocides, chlorine, or chemical additives

Ideal Applications

Shipsonic technology is recommended for:

• Box Coolers and Submerged Heat Exchangers
• Seacastings and filters
• Outer hull of vessels
• Seawater lines and circuits
• Industrial systems subject to marine fouling

Sustainability Combined with Operational Efficiency

Shipsonic offers a modern and sustainable solution to one of the most common problems in maritime operations: biofouling in critical systems. By eliminating the need for chemical treatments and frequent cleaning, the system represents a breakthrough in performance, environmental safety, and operational cost savings.

For operators who demand continuity, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, Shipsonic is the state-of-the-art technological solution.
