WHY HULL CONDITION MATTERS

Biofouling increases hull resistance.

Marine growth on underwater surfaces can increase hydrodynamic drag, affecting the relationship between vessel speed, engine power and fuel consumption.

01

Hydrodynamic performance

Managing hull condition supports smoother movement through the water.

02

Fuel and emissions performance

Reducing avoidable resistance supports energy efficiency and emissions management.

03

Biofouling management

Good management helps reduce the risk of transferring invasive aquatic species.

04

Informed maintenance

Cleaning should consider coating condition, operating profile, trading route and local port requirements.
