With our specialised and fully in-house developed technology, our Licenced Operator can provide environmentally friendly underwater hull cleaning, inspection and propeller polishing services—compliant with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and Marine Environment Protection Committee’s (MEPC) Guidelines—for biofouling control and management. Increasing regulations from IMO, port authorities and government environmental agencies require proper documentation and retention of vessels’ biofouling management where non-compliance may come with hefty fines for the owner. We, therefore, assist the vessel with their biofouling management record book and provide certification for inspection findings and remedial actions which comply with regulations and ensure compliance during port state control inspections.

IMPORTANCE OF SHIP HULL CLEANING
Whenever a machine of any kind, even a ship, gets covered in gunk, its performance will suffer and its lifespan will be cut short. One way that regular ship hull cleaning saves your vessel is that it allows it to use less fuel and produce less heat. When biological debris clings to the hull, it can also stop up engine pipes, which leads to overheating. The debris also adds weight to the ship overall, which makes the engine work harder to move the boat and causes it to use up fuel faster. A dirty ship hull can result in a slower, more cumbersome sailing experience, even causing increased vibration when driving. With routine cleaning, your ship can sail swiftly through the seas unhindered by seemingly inconsequential biofouling. When the boat is clean more often, it will also be easier to catch small problems before they become costly and dangerous. You will also have to pay less for repainting your ship against barnacles, algae, etc.
