The hull cleaning process & the most modern machinery and technology help clean the hull effectively

Ships after a long time operating at sea, their underwater bottom will be invaded by seaweed and other marine microorganisms. They attach to the hull, propellers and many underwater parts of the ship, reducing the ship's performance, most notably reducing the speed, increasing the cost of oil fuel to operate the ship. According to many statistics, the speed loss is 30% of the rated speed, so the fuel oil consumption increases accordingly. Regular underwater cleaning of the vessel makes it possible to restore the original speed by about 95-98% and reduce the cost of fuel oil, which, as a rule, accounts for almost half of the operating costs.

It is important to note that many ports no longer allow in water cleaning of hulls. There are concerns of the release of invasive species. There are also concerns that during the in-water cleaning of hulls biocides contained in antifouling paints will be deposited in local waters.

Full respect for those doing that....thats a colossal amount of work

Good trick to remove and replace the bow thruster in the water. Nice rigging job.

What the video didn't mention is how astonishingly bad that job stinks. You get a ship into dry dock, it sits out of water in the sun and all those barnacles and other critters on the hull die and begin decomposing, and then you come along and start scraping the mess off...it's a stench you'll never forget.

2:40 is not a propellor: it’s one of the ship’s thruster units

I now know what it will take to clean a ship’s hull if I ever end up owning a ship.

[dejupp]

tell me, why tf you have music in your vid? WHY???

[charlesspringer]

Nice work. Feed Wikepedia to a computer voice and put together other people's clips to sort of match. It works.

[barryrahn]

Very satisfying watching all that crud come flying off.

[billwalker]

Interesting, have they gone to Teflon coating or can it be done?

[BeeRich]

That's not a propellor. It's a bow thruster.

nice video, music wasn't overbearing and didn't interfere with the narration, good job. subscribed

Quem apresenta este tipo de vídeos, como se tratasse de algo extraordinário, até me dá vontade de rir, porque quando há bastante mais de quarenta anos entrei para os Estaleiros Navais da Setenave em Setúbal - Portugal, já todo este tipo de tecnologia para reparação e manutenção de navios era usada, incluindo a utilização de "dock arms" para permitir um fácil e rápido acesso a qualquer parte do casco do navio!!!

Thanks for your video and people to maintain the ships

[capnchip]

Pretty interesting. Too bad thee camera is switched around so much it is almost impossible to actually see what is taking place.

[deejaytrizay]

I hear this same voice in a LOT of videos. It, ofcourse, sounds synthetic, but...where do ppl get this voice from?

[fredgervinm.p.]

I have cleaned my share of hulls and painted them with TBTF paint...

[paulcheney]

I've lost count of the amount of hours I have spent blasting off old paint barnacles etc. The blasting gun was powered by a volvo truck engine and the power is incredible. The noise is deafening and even with eye protection I've had to go to hospital maybe 8 times to have a foreign body taken out. The paint below the waterline is very poisonous and as it's washed off there's a paint coloured mist in the air. I've had shadows on my lungs twice and as soon as doctors see you've worked with marine paint they pay attention. Your health is precious and no amount of money is worth it
