RoRo

The challenge

Maintain vessel efficiency on every voyage

Ro-ro and Ro-pax fleet operators deal with tight and fixed schedule, with very short turnaround windows, and often overnight. With uptime and on-time arrivals being important, this means hull maintenance always has to fight for a window with doesn’t exist.

Why it matters

  • Every sailing run on a fouled hull is burning more fuel to hold the same schedule. And on a fixed, repeating route, that penalty repeats every single crossing.

  • Waiting for a scheduled reactive clean or the next drydock could cost you extra 750-2000+ tonnes of fuel per vessel per year*

*based on average 15% of drag penalty caused by microfouling of a Ro-Ro/Ro-pax consuming 5000-15,000 tonnes of fuel per vessel per year
