Enhancing Efficiency and Performance: The Benefits of Condition-Based Cleaning for Propellers
Maintaining clean propellers is crucial for optimal vessel performance and fuel efficiency. Traditional scheduled cleaning methods may not always align with the varying growth rate of marine fouling throughout the year. That’s where condition-based cleaning comes into play. By combining visual inspections, fuel consumption monitoring, and innovative technologies, such as VUVI in collaboration with Maress from VPS, ship operators can determine precisely when propellers require cleaning, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing costs.

Se hva et lite gründerselskap fra Bergen har fått til!
Den pågående pandemien gjør at store deler av den maritime næringen sliter, med permitteringer, oppsigelser og lavere inntjening. Men likevel er det enkelte ting som får styrket fremvekst, kanskje nettopp på grunn av delvis nedstengningen av landet og verden for øvrig.
