SAVE ON FUEL & OIL = Less drag means big savings on fuelling your vessel
MORE POWER = Get where you need to go faster BETTER
RESALE VALUE = A well maintained vessel will boost your resale value

Fouling begins with a layer of slime or biofilm. A This slime paves the way for other plants and animals to attach and the amount increases over time until you have a little undersea community residing on the vessels wetted hull area. A Many types of marine plants and animals can attach to the submerged areas of hull. A Organisms like barnacles, mussels, sponges, algae and sea squirts attach themselves to the hulls of ships, thus fouling them.

Fouling can negatively affect your vessels fuel efficiency, speed and cause increased maintenance costs to remove the fouling. A It causes your ship A to use more fuel and slows down because of the increased drag. A It can affect the maneuverability of the vessel. A And if you leave fouling attached to your vessel A for too long you can damage the paint and cause deterioration of your vessel’s overall performance.

Hull fouling is highest for boats that remain stationary in the water for long periods of time and are not protected by antifouling paint, and can encourage marine plants and animals to thrive growth on the hull surfaces, anchor & chain, propeller, and sometimes even in bilge water.
