]]> 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.
