Propeller Polishing

 

It has been well documented through many case studies that the effects of a poorly maintained propeller can decrease speed and power by up to 5 % compared to that of a propeller maintaining an "A" Finish on the Rupert Scale.

The annual cost savings of a 100,000 DWT tanker with a properly maintained propeller can be as much as $150,000 USD. With our high speed polishing equipment and specially formulated abrasive polishing pads our dive teams can complete multi stage micro polishings on the largest of propellers in usually four hours or less, depending upon the maintenance program of the propeller.
