Our trading & shipping campaigns

Hull cleaning

To comply with the biofouling requirements by some Regulators, marine vessels must arrive at ports with “a clean hull”, meaning no biofouling or live organisms being present on the hull and niche areas. To solve for this challenge, bp's Shipping team are searching for solutions to prevent biofouling accumulation and settlement in these areas, that would remove the need for periodical cleaning with divers while vessels are in service.
