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 cost 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 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.

Can you afford this?

On the other hand, can you afford dry docking every six months or even yearly? This is where HYB DIVING comes in! The alternative to frequent dry-docking maintenance is underwater hull cleaning with HYB DIVING.

HYB DIVING

  • cleans your hull without damage to fiberglass, steel, or wood hulls
  • reactivates the toxic in your paint, adding life to it
  • will not lift paint or caulking like high pressure water jetting of steam cleaning systems
  • is risk free, and the on-going inspections of your hull during cleaning keeps you aware of its actual condition, to better schedule needed repairs, painting, etc.

Compare to fuel loss and other costs due to a dirty hull, how can you afford not to have your hull cleaned by HYB DIVING, which offers the most economical, convenient, safe alternative.
