Bunker-Saving Fleet Cleaner Announces Service Expansion to All Dutch Ports
Fleet Cleaner today announced that it has extended its bunker-saving ship hull cleaning service to all ports in the Netherlands - a development said to make Fleet Cleaner the first company to clean ship hulls in all Dutch ports.
Fleet Cleaner notes that the company cooperates with various subcontractors to offer other hull maintenance services as well.
"The hull cleaning services can now be combined with propeller polishing, which reduces fuel consumption even more for the shipping company, as well as class certified under water inspection by divers in order to extend dry docking," said Fleet Cleaner.
The company's extended availability of hull cleaning service is said to have been recently utilised by the vessel Chiquita België in the port of Flushing.
"The Chiquita België was cleaned during loading and unloading at the terminal, so that the shipping company experiences no downtime at all from the hull cleaning activities," said Fleet Cleaner.
"This saves significant time compared to alternative cleaning methods with divers, where the ship has to be anchored outside ports, thus resulting in extra costs."
As Ship & Bunker reported last month, Fleet Cleaner recently marked the launch of its first Fleet Cleaner robot at the Port of Rotterdam.
