Removing barnacles is a must for any vessel. ⛴️ 🎥 Norgvarg

A young sea turtle struggles to move, its shell covered in barnacles 🐢

Barnacles are so disgusting

Seems like science would have a coating that repels barnacles

In case you were wondering why they scrub barnacles: The barnacles boost hull drag 60%, spike fuel use up to 40%, slow speed & damage paint/hull. Scrubbing them off can result in 15-40% fuel savings, 60% less drag, +1 knot speed.

That barnacle may be worth a hell of a lot of money for selling to seafood restaurants.😱

Video with smell

I feel like this is ai no way that many “barnacles” of that size were allowed to build up. I call bs

フジツボではない。エボシガイだ。

Perhaps you should have cleaned them up sooner🤢

Meanwhile

@grok wtf is that ?

A clean vessel is an efficient vessel 🚢

When you sail the ocean without paying taxes at bikin bottom

Опа, оказывается я знаю норвежский. Смотрел видео понял большую часть того. что он говорил.

Barnacles may be small, but if ignored they become a big problem—just like little issues in life. Deal with them early.” ⚓

If the boats are properly maintained regularly then the barnacles dont get the opportunity to cause damage to the vessel..

Do people eat them ever?

I still dont understand why they havent created a vessel that is powered by barnacles.

Does anything eat those?

My trypophobia

Those ate mussels not barnacles

@grok, kindly make a clear explanation on how they get attached to the vessel, and is there no other way to repel them?

Is it normal to feel itchy watching this?? 😅

my trypophobia could never

日本人「美味そうだな…」

This is me if I slept in the sea for a bit, with my cock only in the sea.

They don't have predators?

@grok thousands of years of sailing and still no permanent solution for these?

Probably should have cleaned it sooner

Aren't they edible?

Someone give bro a flamethrower already 🤣

In Portugal it is a delicatessen! It costs 25 Euros per kilogram in the supermarket!
