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.

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

[@r.awilliams9815]

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.

[@robertlevine2152]

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.

Makes sense! Thanks for the information

[@dongningprc]

Talking about "the release of invasive species", I doubt by not allowing in water cleaning of hulls, invasive species will not move by themselves into the water near the ports. Are there any scientific evidence that in water cleaning is helping them migrating?

[@robertlevine2152]

@@dongningprc I have, since retirement, been following this topic from the periphery. I have not been active in discussions with people from paint manufacturers, diver companies and State environmental agencies. In the assessment of actual harm it is often a "shoot first, ask questions later " mentality. It becomes easier to seek an alternative solution, than to spend the time and effort to disprove the hypothesis that harm is being done. Self-publishing copolyermer paints and other ablative paints provided a solution for the issue of in-water cleaning 15 years ago. I can't tell you what alternatives are being used today. Bob

Not when you have 2 or 3 crews in the water with 3 divers per crew and 1 safety per diver. They do a of of other maintenance while it’s docked like HVAC / Plumbing / Electrical. They usually dock cruise ships that are over 200ft. Once for 6 months every 4 to 5 years.

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

[@davidbwa]

The device being used to create that thrust is literally a propeller. It wasn't an airplane either but many of those have propellers as well. From the internet - "What does bow thruster do? In simplest terms, thrusters are designed with propellers facing in a sideways direction so when they are turned on, they push the bow or stern of a boat sideways through the water, in either direction"

The best method is Lazer blasting. It is amazing.

[@sunitadwarka347]

My another suggestion is, Make holes in the propeller fan arms. Take longer screw with rubber vayser . Cut the rubber sheets as per as size of propeller fan arms for both the sides ... or make cover with rubber sheets to wing of propeller. With screws you fix rubber sheets use rubber vayser to tighten it, After every fifteen days, you change the rubber sheets by opening screws. It will be very easy work. You keep it for drying all dust will seprate automatically. Till hot water system is not coming use this system. Screws will propeller fan arms rubber. Jay shree ram.

[@glennsoucy4359]

Idiotic

[@paulcheney3636]

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

[@iqbang9236]

I was wondering how much each cleaning + repaint job would cost for the big ships? Probably millions?

The cost of the dock plus the workers would be phenomenal.

[@tbusman1]

What shipyard was this filmed at?

[@marcobobson5972]

How much does this job cost? Clean and new paint.

[@sunitadwarka347]

Each problem has different solutions. Another system is engineer must make heating systems of propelar, must discontinue wiring from inside use rubber where ever needed and heat it . All dust will seprate. Second system is must use hot water drops by drop water system connection to pass on propeller. Must experiment which method is best. While making machenical limbs for ships, we must make arrangements for cleaning. Like we can make mechanical limbs with hot water pipe material and we pass hot water time to time inside hot water pipe, so that nothing will get stuck to it. Jay shree ram. Shipping industry will completely change in future. Not the original structure but problems will be solved. Not returning from sea bring tears in eyes of family members. Jay shree ram.

A constant electrical charge should off set any contact growth. No?

[@denali9449]

And then you must contend with the corrosion problem you created by inducing an electrical charge to the hull. All those shiny silver things on the hull are sacrificial zincs to absorb the stray electrical charges due to dissimilar metals in the salt water. Adding more electricity to the mix will create more corrosion in the hull and fittings.

[@sunitadwarka347]
