Duties of a Hull Maintenance Officer (HMO) in the Indian Navy:

A Hull Maintenance Officer (HMO) in the Indian Navy is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity, watertightness, and overall health of a ship’s hull. Their expertise ensures that naval vessels remain seaworthy, battle-ready, and capable of enduring harsh maritime conditions.

Key Duties of an HMO:

Hull Inspection & Repairs – Regular checks for corrosion, cracks, and structural weaknesses, followed by necessary repairs.

Watertight Integrity – Ensuring all compartments, bulkheads, and seals prevent flooding and maintain buoyancy.

Underwater Hull Maintenance – Overseeing cleaning, anti-fouling coatings, and underwater repairs with divers or dry-docking.

Damage Control & Emergency Repairs – Managing onboard damage control teams to handle hull breaches and structural failures.

Coordination with Shipyards – Working with naval dockyards and shipbuilders like Mazagon Dock Ltd. (MDL) and GRSE for major overhauls.

Material & Corrosion Management – Implementing protective coatings and material upgrades to enhance the hull’s durability.

Final Thoughts:

HMOs play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term sustainability of Indian Navy ships, making them essential to fleet readiness and operational success.
