Hull Maintenance
Why a clean hull?
Ship and boat owners know the effects of a fouled hull. Instead of a smooth, clean hull slipping through the water, marine growth creates drag, reducing speed. Extra demand on engines to maintain speed means increased full use, an added coast regardless of vessel size. Fouling is the result of marine growth, a constant process which begins between one and four months. Fouling occurs even on a newly painted clean hull treated with the best toxic paints. If left unchecked growth continues until the anti-fouling coat is penetrated, then the seal coat, finally the hull itself is damaged. Tests show a fouled hull can increase fuel cost by 15% - 20% or more.
