Hull Cleaning

Underwater cleaning and propeller polishing of vessels carried out while the vessel is loading or offloading by the terminal quay as well as at the anchorage. The maintenance of the hull and propellers is indispensable for vessels in operation as it turns out to be the most economical solution reducing the drag and excessive fuel costs. Ships with rough hulls often also have rough propellers, although the reasons for the surface deterioration after a period of time in-service are different. In the past researchers, as well as practical ship operators, have focused their attention mainly on the hull maintenance problem.
