Underwater Services: Hull and Propeller Maintenance
Underwater hull and propeller maintenance is critical for fuel efficiency, operational performance, and cost optimization in the modern maritime industry. Regular underwater maintenance reduces fuel consumption and increases operational efficiency of vessels.
Importance of Hull Cleaning
Marine organisms and algae accumulating on the ship hull cause serious performance problems:
- Increased Fuel Consumption: Dirty hull can increase fuel consumption by 10-20% by increasing friction
- Speed Loss: Accumulations reduce the vessel's speed and maneuverability
- Corrosion Risk: Organisms can cause corrosion on the hull surface
- Environmental Impact: Increased fuel consumption increases emissions
Propeller Maintenance and Optimization
Propeller maintenance is critical for operational efficiency:
- Propeller Cleaning: Regular cleaning preserves propeller efficiency
- Damage Control: Early detection and repair of propeller damage
- Balancing: Correction of propeller imbalance
- Optimization: Optimization of propeller performance
Underwater Welding and Repair
Professional underwater welding services reduce vessels' need for dry dock:
- Underwater welding operations
- Hull repair
- Propeller repair
- Chain and anchor maintenance
Maintenance Program and Timing
Optimal maintenance program maximizes operational efficiency:
- Regular Inspection: Underwater inspection every 6-12 months
- Preventive Cleaning: Regular cleaning to prevent organism accumulation
- Seasonal Maintenance: Maintenance planning according to seasonal changes
- Performance Monitoring: Tracking fuel consumption and performance metrics
