HULL CLEANING / GROOMING

A Cleaned Hull typically consumes almost 30% lesser fuel than a fouled Hull which accumulates huge savings for the Ship Owner and Charterers. This is where Ergono Solutions comes in to Picture, as we have a Huge Network of Commercial Diving Companies globally who are well equipped and trained to conduct the Hull Cleanings with the best Electro-hydraulic equipment’s available in the market. Research suggests that Bio-Fouling Layer can start forming of the Submerged Part of Hull within 2 to 3 hours after exposure and with the passage of time it can form different type of Marine Growths.

Some Typical types of Marine Fouling are:

HARD FOULING

  • Acorn Barnacles (AB)
  • Mussels (M)
  • Oysters (O)
  • Pin Head Barnacles (B)

SOFT FOULING

  • Algae (A)
  • Slime (S)
  • Tube Worms (T)
  • Sea Weed (A)
  • Calcareous Growth (CO)

Hull Cleaning be be conducted using different methods such as:

    • Brush Cleaning (Soft Brushes/Steel Wire Brushes etc)
    • Water Blasting (Non-Cavitation)
    • Water Blarting (Cavitation)
    • Heat Treatment
    • Manal Scraping

Ergono Solutions have an expert inhouse who are trained to supervise the Hull Cleaning/Grooming with above technologies. The most important aspect of the Hull Cleaning is to have minimal damage to the paint as it would definitely occur in contact cleaning methods such as Brush based or Manual Scraper Cleanings.
