Why Propeller Polishing is Essential for Container Ships
The propeller of a container ship is critical for its speed and fuel efficiency, but marine growth like barnacles and algae can build up over time, reducing performance. This leads to higher fuel consumption, slower transit times, and increased operational costs. Our propeller polishing service removes these deposits, restoring the propeller’s smoothness and improving hydrodynamic efficiency. Combined with propeller cleaning, this process ensures your vessel meets IMO’s energy efficiency standards, such as the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), while reducing emissions. A polished propeller also minimizes vibration, extending the lifespan of your ship’s propulsion system.

Our Expert Process for Propeller Polishing and Cleaning
At VIETNAM SHIP REPAIR, we deliver top-quality propeller polishing and propeller cleaning through a meticulous process:
-
Propeller Underwater Survey: Our certified divers conduct a detailed propeller underwater survey to assess the condition of the propeller, identifying marine growth and surface roughness.
-
Propeller Cleaning: Using specialized tools, we remove all marine growth, ensuring a clean surface without damaging the propeller.
-
Propeller Polishing: We polish the propeller to a mirror-like finish, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency.
-
Final Inspection: A follow-up underwater survey ensures the propeller meets industry standards and performs at its best.
This comprehensive propeller polishing process minimizes downtime and maximizes your vessel’s efficiency.

Benefits of Propeller Polishing in the Maritime Industry
Regular propeller servieces offer significant benefits for container ships in the maritime industry:
-
Improved Fuel Efficiency: A polished propeller can reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%, according to industry studies, saving significant costs on long voyages.
-
Reduced Emissions: By optimizing propeller performance, our service helps lower greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with IMO’s MARPOL Annex VI regulations and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) requirements.
-
Enhanced Speed and Performance: A clean propeller ensures faster transit times, helping you meet tight shipping schedules.
-
Extended Propeller Lifespan: Removing marine growth reduces cavitation and vibration, protecting the propeller from long-term damage.
-
Environmental Protection: Preventing marine growth transfer through propeller cleaning supports IMO’s biosecurity guidelines, reducing the risk of invasive species spread.
With VIETNAM SHIP REPAIR, your container ship will operate more efficiently while contributing to a sustainable maritime industry.
