INVOICE

Barnacles, sea lettuce, green algae, tube worms. They all have one thing in common. They chew up millions of dollars yearly.

Dollars that should have been profits.

They're slow death to the efficiency of any ship. Whether it's a bulk ship, tank ship or dry cargo ship. Whether it's a coastal ship or VLCC. And the bigger they come, the faster profits fall

With regularly scheduled SCAMP® underwater hull cleanings, fuel savings alone for VLCC's operating between 12 and 14 knots can be anywhere from $210,000 to $340,000 over a 2Vi year dry dock cycle.

Depending on water temperature, displacement, weather, currents and other variables. Interesting? , How's, your .barnacle this year?

Regularly scheduled cleaning will extend dry dock cycles.

Vessel downtime is reduced to an absolute minimum and normal operations proceed on schedule. For instance, a 250kDWT VLCC can be cleaned in 8 to 12 hours—and cargo can be discharged at the same time! An optimal cleaning program after fouling begins is once every round trip for long haul vessels, and every three to four months for other vessels. SCAMP hull cleaning stations are strategically located on major trade routes. Bookings be arranged to accommodate ships' schedules worldwide by contacting Butterworth

Systems, our Sales Representatives or any SCAMP hull cleaning station. can bill
