In the demanding and competitive maritime industry, vessel performance and efficiency are directly impacted by hull cleanliness. At Bengal Wave, we offer professional Underwater (In-Water) Hull and Structure Cleaning services designed to enhance the longevity, speed, and fuel efficiency of your vessel—without the need for dry-docking.

Why Hull Cleaning Matters

Over time, the hull of a vessel becomes fouled with marine growth such as algae, barnacles, and slime. This biofouling not only increases drag but also reduces fuel efficiency, slows down speed, and accelerates corrosion. For commercial fleets, even a slight decrease in efficiency can translate to significant operational costs.

Underwater hull cleaning ensures that your vessel remains in optimal condition while complying with environmental and safety regulations. By choosing Bengal Wave, you’re investing in sustainable performance, lower maintenance costs, and smoother voyages.

Our In-Water Cleaning Approach

Bengal Wave uses advanced underwater cleaning equipment operated by highly trained and certified commercial divers. Our methods are tailored to suit different hull materials and antifouling coatings to avoid any damage during the cleaning process. We provide:

• Full Hull Surface Cleaning (flat bottom, vertical sides, bilge keels, and niche areas)
• Propeller and Rudder Cleaning
• Thruster Tunnel Cleaning
• Sea Chest and Grating Cleaning
• Niche Area Cleaning (intake grates, sonar domes, etc.)

Using environmentally friendly tools and real-time video monitoring, we ensure thorough cleaning without compromising marine ecosystems.

Key Benefits of Our Underwater Hull Cleaning Services

1. Improved Fuel Efficiency

A clean hull significantly reduces resistance through water, leading to fuel savings of up to 10% or more. This is crucial for shipping companies looking to reduce carbon emissions and operational expenses.

2. No Need for Dry-Docking

Since our cleaning is done in-water, you avoid the costly and time-consuming process of dry-docking your vessel. This minimizes downtime and keeps your operations running smoothly.

3. Compliance with International Standards

We follow industry best practices and IMO regulations to ensure your vessel stays compliant with international maritime cleanliness and biofouling management standards.

4. Increased Vessel Lifespan

By removing harmful growth and preventing corrosion, our services contribute to extending the structural lifespan of your vessel’s hull and underwater components.

5. Quick Turnaround

Our dive teams are equipped for fast mobilization and 24/7 availability, allowing for flexible scheduling at ports or anchorages.
