The challenge

Maintain fleet efficiency and performance

Long voyages and complex port schedule means long period between conventional cleaning events. Large underwater hull surface area means early-stage fouling can create meaningful resistance over significant distance. It also carries risk of Denial of Port Entry for failing to meet with specific international or national biofouling standards.

Why it matters

  • Maintaining always clean hull avoids high diversion cost and operation interruption due to Denial of Port Entry issued by port or biosecurity authority.

  • Biofouling could cost you an 8–15% reduction in vessel efficiency.
