What is
Underwater hull cleaning is a specialist process for removing marine growth, biofouling and other matter from ship hulls when they reach port. It is normal for such marine growth to build up as vessels travel through the water, but this accumulation inevitably creates performance problems for the ship by slowing down its passage and adversely impacting manoeuvrability, operability, and durability of vessels.
The additional effort required by the ship to remain on schedule also requires greater quantities of fuel which can have significant financial and environmental impacts. Underwater hull cleaning aligns with efforts by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by optimizing vessel fuel efficiency and cutting down on carbon levels in the atmosphere;
Through regular underwater hull cleaning, Dive Marine Services helps vessels maintain much better operational and economic performance, reduce fuel consumption and optimise journey time.
