🚢 Singapore Port Reduces Average Waiting Time to Less Than a Day 🚢 The Port of Singapore has made significant strides in boosting efficiency, reducing average waiting times to under a day in July. This improvement follows several key initiatives, including reactivating old berths at Keppel Terminal and accelerating new berths at Tuas Port. With a 6.1% increase in container volumes (23.82 million TEU in the first seven months of 2024), the port had previously faced congestion, with some vessels waiting up to seven days for a berth. Additionally, the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and PSA Singapore recently trialed night movements of line-towed barges at Pasir Panjang Terminal, further improving container traffic flow and regional connectivity. At Hull Cleaning and Repairs, we’re proud to provide services in Singapore's vibrant port operation, offering essential maintenance services to vessels in this busy hub. With reduced waiting times, we’re able to deliver our services with even more efficiency, ensuring vessels are always ready to go. 👉 Need services in Singapore or beyond?

🌊 Biofouling, what’s Sticking to Your Hull? 🌊 Biofouling is a major issue for vessels, affecting performance, fuel efficiency, and increasing maintenance costs. Here's a quick breakdown of the common culprits: 1. Barnacles 🐚 Firmly attached to your hull with a cement-like substance, barnacles increase drag, fuel consumption, and can even affect vessel stability. 2. Tube Worms 🪱 These calcareous-tube producers cover large areas of the hull, contributing to drag, speed reduction, and even physical damage that can lead to corrosion. 3. Algae 🌿 While small amounts seem harmless, algae can rapidly grow, increasing roughness, promoting further fouling, and even clogging critical systems, risking engine damage. 4. Sea Squirts (Ascidians) 🪼 Though they appear less invasive, these creatures obstruct water intakes and can corrode surfaces over time, while invasive species threaten local marine ecosystems. 5. Zebra Mussels 🦪 An invasive species, zebra mussels cling to boat hulls and equipment, forming dense clusters that disrupt water flow, damage machinery, and harm native species. 🚢 Regular hull cleaning is essential to combat these organisms and ensure your vessel runs efficiently while minimising its environmental impact. 👉 Want to maintain peak performance?
