Why is hull cleaning important?

Whatever bottom paint you use on your hull, at least a layer of biofilm will form. These are microorganisms, usually bacteria, that clump together and then attach themselves to a surrounding surface as a group to protect itself; this biofilm produces a slimy covering. Ship hulls can also collect algae and barnacles in severe circumstances.

You know how heavy seaweed can be if you've ever picked it up on the beach. Barnacles are extremely heavy, as is the wonderful layer of bacteria that will undoubtedly form on your hull. This, along with the weight of a rough hull coating, results in unneeded increased drag, resulting in a 20% or greater fuel penalty.

As a result, the underwater surfaces of your vessels must be kept clean for them to operate efficiently. This will not only save you money on gas, but it will also minimize your carbon footprint, allowing you to help battle climate change.

Why is Propeller Polishing Necessary?

Propeller blades can foul and roughen over time, resulting in greater fuel use. Polishing helps to keep the surface smooth, which reduces drag and fuel consumption.

How is a Propeller Polished?

Underwater or dry-docking propeller polishing is possible. Certified divers or specialized equipment are utilized to remove fouling and maintain the right contour of the propeller.
