Savings fuel- Propeller polish procedure
Polish underwater (Polishing carry on when the vessel is anchored or when loading or unloading cargo alongside)
A propeller blade surface finish has a big effect on saving fuel consumption. marine fouling organisms attached to Blades structure reduce the efficiency of the propeller. resulting in a fall in propeller RPM
It is normally recommended a propeller polishing is carried out ate periods between
drydock not extended from
two or three years to five years, it is
necessary to consider service of Underwater propeller polish while the vessel is afloat between the discharge
and loading operations.

Underwater Hull Cleaning at Panama Canal by Aquadiver Panama

In Panama Aquadiver team divers for Hull, cleaning use Special Twin Hydraulic Brushes to remove any kind of marine grows from vessels, have used special brushes in contact with the hull surface removing all fouling layer to remove fouling. The material of the brush can be different and depends on marine grow attached
Different kind of brushes materials is also used on the different hull as nylon or
plastic, Stanley steel brushes are an example
Other methods of removal include: rotating brushes that create centrifugal force
over the hull surface without touching it, high-pressure with hydraulic power packs powered
These methods are intended to reduce the friction effects of marine grow on antifouling coatings,

• UW FULL CLEANING: The term full cleaning refers to the removal of fouling from the entire underwater hull shell plates structure, additional areas, including propeller and shafts, overboard valves
• INTERIM UW CLEANING: The term interim cleaning refers to the removal of fouling from the propeller, shafts, and rudders. Cleaning of other submerged ship systems may occur during this
gap. Interim cleanings are planned scheduled for all vessel between regular full cleanings to take advantage of fuel savings, Possible average of 50% represent fuel savings benefit of cleaning an entire hull due to
the cleaning of propeller blades.
• PARTIAL UW CLEANING – The term partial cleaning means to any cleaning where only specific areas of the ship vertical sides, rudders, sonar, bilge keels

UW photo Inspection
Damage assessment survey
marine growth fouling inspection
Antifouling paint inspection
hull structure, propeller blades, rudder blade, sea chests, grids, internal- external. Cathodic Protection
Underwater Survey inspection It is the assessment, while the ships already is afloat, of all underwater structural parts
of the vessels underwater hull , which will provide a result or
equivalent visual inspection o from a dry-dock inspection.

IN WATER SOLUTION
Conduct quick underwater
in-situ surveys, maintenance
inspections and certification
of marine-based assets and
structures.
Under liu of dry of dry docking underwater inspection programme,
probes are used deployed
using commercial divers
Saves the asset owner time and
cost by reducing downtime.
Eliminates the need for
expensive and limited drydock
space.
