What questions we answer

How can I get more out of my propeller without dry-docking? Am I losing speed and fuel due to the propeller's condition?
‍

A rough propeller surface costs more than many realize. Submara performs propeller polishing according to Rupert Scale for optimal hydrodynamic performance. The result is lower fuel consumption, more stable schedules, and reduced wear on the propulsion system, without the need for dry-docking.

‍

This service is particularly useful when vessels experience reduced speed, increased fuel consumption, or noticeable vibration, often caused by fouling or irregularities on the propeller surface. Furthermore, propeller polishing is an important part of ongoing maintenance between dry-docking intervals, where regular follow-up contributes to improved energy efficiency, reduced operating costs and extended lifespan of the propulsion system.
