Hull Cleaning
a Vessel's fuel consumption will begin to
increase 5-6 months after dry docking. even
a small amount of marine fouling can
increase costs by up to 80%. Regular
cleaning + Maintenance will help maintain
optimum fuel efficiency and reduce a vessels
maintenance costs (paint coatings last
longer, Engine wear + tear is reduced)

Propeller
Polishing
As the propeller is an unpainted surface, it
is particularly vulnerable to all types of
marine growth. Studies have shown that
despite its small surface area, a rough prop
can generate energy losses amounting to half
that of the entire hull.
Propellers on military vessels are routinely
polished twice as often as the hull to help
keep them operating at maximum efficiency
A roughened propeller can increase fuel
consumption by 10%.
A complete service can be provided within as
little as 48 hours and can be performed
whilst the vessel is loading / discharging
or waiting at anchorage
