Propeller Polishing — Restoring Efficiency & Reducing Fuel Costs

What is Propeller Polishing?

KCC carries out underwater grinding and polishing of propeller blades to Class 1 surface finish standard, removing roughness, marine growth, and minor damage to restore optimal hydrodynamic performance. Regular propeller polishing reduces fuel consumption and improves vessel speed.

What's Included

Pre-polish inspection to assess blade condition and surface roughness
Grinding and polishing of all blade surfaces to Class 1 standard
Treatment of leading and trailing edges
Post-polish inspection and surface roughness measurement
Documentation of work carried out and condition before and after

Why This Matters

A rough propeller surface increases drag and reduces propulsive efficiency — increasing fuel consumption and reducing vessel speed. Regular polishing to Class 1 standard can reduce fuel consumption by 3-6% and pays for itself quickly in fuel savings.
