Propeller Polishing: Reducing Fuel Costs with Proper Maintenance

Propeller Polishing: Reducing Fuel Costs with Proper Maintenance

Why Propeller Polishing Matters

Marine growth and rough propeller surfaces reduce propulsion efficiency. Even small amounts of fouling can increase fuel consumption significantly.

Benefits of Regular Polishing

  • Fuel savings: Clean props reduce drag and cut fuel costs by 5–15%.
  • Extended propeller life: Regular polishing prevents erosion and cavitation damage.
  • Compliance: Meets IMO energy efficiency requirements (EEXI, CII).

Recommended Frequency

  • Every 6 months for vessels operating in warm waters.
  • Quarterly for ships with heavy fouling risk.
