Before propeller polishing

  When the propeller roughness increases, it decreases the efficiency of the propeller and let the colonization of the unit by marine fouling, eventually increasing drag and fuel consumption. The surface finish of the blade is much critical than most ship owner realize. At the same time a few micron of increased roughness will increase fuel  consumption.  

  Water is a natural lubrication for propeller polishing, therefore in -water  polishing get a finish far superior to that of dry polish. Williamson Marine Services ( WMS ) performs  propeller polishing based on accepted standards. WMS guarantees excellent surface finish, 1 micron Center Line Average ( C.L.A. ).

  Finishing of the entire propeller and removal marine growth, calcium and basal plate deposits without gouging of the surface is achieved using the special equipment.  Rountine propeller polishing can save fuel and money.

Ships propellers roughness comparator scale give you the guideline of the limits for the   propeller roughness.
