Hull cleaning, aimed at removing marine growth and biofouling from the underwater parts of a ship’s hull, is essential for several reasons:
Biofouling can significantly increase the hydrodynamic drag on a ship, leading to reduced speed and increased fuel consumption.
By removing corrosive elements and organisms that can damage the hull, cleaning services extend the lifespan of the vessel.
Hull cleaning helps vessels comply with strict environmental laws regarding the transfer of invasive species through biofouling.
Regular cleaning can reveal any damage or issues with the hull that might otherwise be hidden by marine growth, allowing for timely repairs and ensuring the vessel’s safety.
