]]> 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.

]]> Why Hull Inspections Are Needed

Marine growth, corrosion, and structural damage affect vessel performance and safety. Traditionally, hull checks meant dry docking—a costly and time-consuming process.

Benefits of Underwater Inspections

  • Cost savings: No need for dockyard facilities.
  • Time efficiency: Conducted while vessel remains afloat.
  • Compliance: Meets class society requirements for periodic surveys.

When to Choose Dry Docking Instead

  • When major repairs or steel replacement are needed.
  • For painting and anti-fouling renewal.
  • After grounding or collision damage.

Our Service

We provide class-approved underwater inspections with photo and video evidence, minimizing downtime at Saudi ports. Schedule your hull inspection today.
