A buildup of marine fouling can lead to increased drag, resulting in a harmful impact on your vessel’s hydrodynamic performance. Your ship will become slower, while consuming more fuel. Moreover, fouling, particularly in the case of a prolific buildup of ‘hard or shell fouling’ like barnacles or tubeworm, can cause turbulence, cavitation and noise. This frequently affects the performance of sonars, speed logs and other hull-mounted sensors. So, to keep your vessel working properly and efficiently, it is important to clean the hull of your ship. We can do that for you. Underwater, so that building scaffolding and vessel displacement are not necessary, making our method very efficient indeed.
