Project Description

The most effective way to improve the overall fuel economy is to run a regularly based cleaning program for the hull and propellers

HULL CLEANING

According to IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC63), deterioration in hull & propeller performance between dry-dockings accounts for 10% of world-fleet fuel costs and GHG emissions.

Hull performance refers to the relationship between the condition of a ship’s underwater hull and the power required to move the ship through water. Hull cleaning should be carried out based on a condition assessment basis.

DIVING STATUS offers a fully comprehensive underwater Hull cleaning service.

DIVING STATUS has been providing underwater hull cleaning for more than four decades and during this time we have built up a good reputation and a strong network with shipping companies worldwide.

Our experienced underwater engineers and diver inspectors understand the complexities of such work and, as part of the DIVING STATUS team, embrace the challenge of undertaking these special and often innovative tasks.

Every service provided by DIVING STATUS includes also an underwater inspection along with a detailed report with photos and videos before and after the tasks performed.

HULL CLEANING GUIDELINES

DIVING STATUS uses different cleaning methods depending on Antifouling Coating type and marine fouling type and degree.

DIVING STATUS chooses the least aggressive cleaning brush that will effectively remove the fouling to avoid excessive antifouling paint wear.

Hull cleaning can be performed in a few hours due to our innovative hydraulic multi-brush systems based on rotating brushes, which are environmental friendly.

Hull cleaning includes cleaning of Flat Bottom, Vertical Sides, Sea Chests Grids Rudder and all niche areas such as Bilge keels, Dock keel blocks, Cathodic protection anodes, Stabilizer fins, spoilers, Inlet pipes, Echo sounders, speed log transducer etc.
