Why clean your hull?
Maintaining a good cleaning and inspection routine for your vessel is the key to top performance, greater fuel efficiency, and unsightly machinery/anti-corrosion system failure.Marine organisms love a grubby hull – they can take hold in the fouling fuzz and before you know it, they can quickly establish themselves, potentially hampering your vessels by blocking intakes/discharges, jamming speed logs, covering sounders, shafts and propellers.
When should I clean it?
We highly recommend cleaning your vessel once a month; regular cleaning with a soft sponge or cloth rather than a harsh removal aid such as a Scotch Brite or scraper can prolong the life of your antifouling saving you time and effort.
How is the vessel cleaned?
Divers use either a soft sponge, industrial brush; scotch Brite, scraper or mixture of all, depending on the required effort to remove the fouling.They start on the water line making sure not to go above the antifouling, and onto the gel coat.
Once the water line is complete they drop down to where they have cleaned to and work their way forward and aft along the vessel until they reach the keel making sure to cover and clean every fitting and section of the vessel.
The running gear is then cleaned and inspected, all work is recorded and a full photographic report can be supplied.
Full photographic reports are complementary with membership packages.
What’s in it for you?
- Regular, professional servicing by qualified, experienced commercial divers
- Extend the life of your antifouling and running gear
- Reduce vessel running costs (lower fuel consumption)
- Increased performance
- Enhanced appearance
- Satisfaction of knowing exactly what lies beneath
