Propeller Polishing
Propeller Inspection
Onsite inspections can be carried out by our engineers:
To assess the extent of damage, recommend repairs, estimate repair cost, and if requested, the probable cause of damage. inspections will provide the owner with a forecast of necessary or recommended work to be done before next dry-docking.

Propeller polishing
A properly polished propeller is a necessity and must be carried out by a competent organization. Failure to do so could lead to deterioration of the propeller leading to additional problems. A properly polished propeller will reduce slippage and increase vessel efficiency. If left untreated it will result in an increase of power absorption and for a fixed pitch propeller will result in a reduction of service rotational speed.
Increased fuel consumption can be credited to badly fouled propellers. If not polished correctly, the fouling quickly re-establishes itself on a rough propeller. ATLANTIDA uses a variety of "3M" diamond abrasive disks with a propeller-polishing tool to polish your propeller to Rubert scale on the pressure face, suction face and the leading / trailing edges, and we will also reinstate the anti singing edge .
Because the cost of the underwater polish will only be a small proportion of the fuel savings, the most important factor to be considered by the customer is the quality of the polishing.
