The purpose of ship hull cleaning is to remove biological roughness or fouling. A build-up of marine fouling leads to increased drag which will have a detrimental impact on a ship's performance, resulting in increased fuel consumption. On top of increased fuel cost, the build-up of barnacles or tubeworms, can cause turbulence, cavitation, and noise, frequently affecting the performance of sonars, speed logs, and other hull-mounted sensors.

Proper cleaning removes all traces of fouling and does not remove or damage the coating or cause any increased surface roughness. Ship hull cleaning can be done during dry dock, or through an underwater cleaning performed by a diver or by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

The high-pressure water quickly and effectively removes the buildup keeping service time low.  Ship hull cleaning is needed around the globe.
