Hull cleaning, timed to save you money.

Most operators clean on a fixed schedule. But the right interval varies by vessel, coating and trade. We use data and predictive models to find the exact point where cleaning pays for itself.

Your hull gets dirtier. You pay for it every day.

Biofouling adds drag. Drag burns fuel. On a typical vessel, fouling adds 5 to 15% extra fuel consumption. Clean too early and you waste the budget. Too late and the fuel penalty outweighs the saving.

Two curves. One optimal point.

We compute two cost curves from your vessel's data. The daily fouling cost rises over time. The average cleaning cycle cost drops as you wait longer. They cross at the optimal cleaning window, the point where waiting stops saving you money and starts costing you more.

From data to optimal timing.

Two signals are enough to get started. GPS/AIS for speed and weather, and a fuel flow meter or watt meter for propulsion energy.

1

Connect

We connect to your existing GPS and power or fuel flow data. No new hardware required in most cases.

2

Monitor

Continuous data collection builds your vessel's unique degradation model. The cleaning window updates in real time.

3

Optimize

We deliver the optimal cleaning window through Miira. The model improves with every cleaning cycle.
