This White Paper is a practical look at ship propeller maintenance, aimed at greater fuel economy for shipowners and operators while also taking into consideration the environmental impact caused by this maintenance.
The problem of propeller roughness has been well researched and documented, not only in its nature but also in terms of the different causes of the roughness and of the effects that varying degrees of propeller roughness have on vessel fuel efficiency.
The Paper details an easy way to save 5-15% of your ship’s fuel costs without harm to the environment.
