Ferries
Efficient performance with a cleaner hull
Fast and passenger ferries operate on demanding schedules, with multiple port calls every day and limited downtime for traditional hull cleaning.
Fouling increases hull resistance, meaning more power is needed to maintain speed and more fuel is consumed. Hullbot provides frequent, in-water grooming to manage fouling between port calls, helping operators maintain hull performance, reduce fuel consumption and support reliable, on-time service.
Why it matters
Biofouling leads to increased drag and fuel consumption, costing an additional 15% in fuel per vessel each year on average.
Lower drag through always clean hulls reduces the engine power required to maintain cruising speed.
