Hull Cleaning
Underwater hull cleaning operations are critical for maintaining the performance and efficiency of a ship. It is foreseeable that recently implemented emissions reduction Regulations (EEXI and CII) will lead to the need for an increase in the frequency of underwater hull cleaning operations to prevent the build-up of residues on the hull which reduces the ship’s efficiency by increasing its fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions.
Propeller Polishing & Repairs
When marine growth accumulates on a propeller’s surface or surface roughness increases due to aging, propeller efficiency lowers, and fuel consumption increases. To lower fuel consumption, fuel-saving polishing, where propeller blades are polished to reduce blade roughness, is effective.
The propeller is a crucial component of a vessel since it is always allocated underwater, the maintenance and repairs can be done underwater, and the common underwater repair is the propeller blades bending.
