Ships are cleaned from barnacles because barnacles and other marine growth create drag on the hull, which slows the vessel down, increases fuel consumption, and raises operating costs. They can also cause corrosion, damage paint coatings, and spread invasive marine species to new areas. Removing them keeps ships faster,... show more

Barnacles need to be removed from ships because they attach themselves firmly to the hull, creating drag in the water. This slows the ship down, forces engines to use more fuel, and increases operating costs. Over time, barnacles can also damage paint and protective coatings, leading to corrosion of the metal underneath. Regular cleaning keeps ships faster, safer, and more efficient.

Marine fuel is expensive. Owners of boats and yachts want to reduce fuel consumption whenever possible. Boat and yacht hulls require regular cleaning to remove barnacles and marine growth. After scraping off the growth, the hull is sanded and recoated with antifouling paint to minimize future marine growth.

This video shows a large marine rope or pipe covered with thousands of mussels and sea creatures attached to it. A worker on the ship is scraping them off using a metal tool. These sea organisms grow naturally in the ocean and can cover ships, ropes, and offshore equipment over time. Cleaning them is important because the extra weight and buildup can damage equipment and reduce efficiency

“Today in the United States there are only 188 US flaged merchant ships and 105 Navy U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command ships. WE NEED MORE THAN THAT In fact the Chinese have over 11,000 merchant ships,” said Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao Hung Cao in today’s senate hearing. The days of the US Navy ignoring the US Merchant Marine and ocean logistics are over. “We need them to thrive as a nation,” He also provided clarity on U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command hulls ordered in foreign yards and said he will require that those overseas yards invest in the United States which will create 540,000 shipyard jobs for Americans.

🇨🇳 One of the world’s largest container ships began its first voyage from Shanghai, and the scale is insane. The CMA CGM Notre Dame is 400 meters long, can carry more than 24,000 containers in one trip, and was built in China, fueled in China, and launched from China. It runs on cleaner LNG fuel and uses AI to read weather and ocean currents, choosing safer and faster routes across the Asia-Europe trade corridor. Source: ShanghaiEyeMagic on YT / Writer: Sol

🇺🇸🇮🇷 There are more than 15 U.S. warships in the Middle East right now, and every single one of them can stop a ship. There are aircraft carriers, assault ships, destroyers, and even submarines that don't show up on anyone's radar. On board: Marines trained to take ships by force and Navy SEALs who've already intercepted a fleeing tanker in the middle of the Atlantic. Good luck picking which one to run from. Source: Barron’s

Secretary Rubio just laid down the law when a reporter asked him about the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. He doubled down: The United States will NEVER allow the Iranian regime to normalize the attacks on commercial ships. RUBIO: “These guys have shut down the Straits of Hormuz.” “This is what Iran is saying, we will shut down the straits and no one can go through. No country in the world can go through unless we allow you to go through and you have to pay us.” “But our ships can go through, meaning the Iranian ships, as much as they want.” “That’s crazy! Who would agree to that?!” “So how are we going to have a situation where they get to close the straits to everybody and the only people allowed to go through there 100% without paying anything are the Iranians?” “If you do that they will keep the straits closed forever.” “They are trying to make this a new normal.” “Under NO circumstances can we ever allow them to normalize the fact that they get to blow up commercial ships and put mines in the water.” “The response to that is we’re going blockade your ships.” “If everyone’s ships are not getting out, your ships are not getting out either.” “That’s not an act of war, that’s a defensive measure, it’s a counter to what they have decided to do.”

Help us trace the parents or relatives of these two young boys living on the streets. They are abusing jet fuel and other harmful substances. Removing them from the streets not only helps save their lives but also contributes to keeping the CBD clean. Many of them are used by shop owners to illegally dump garbage, and the places where they sleep are often left littered with the materials they use as bedding.

⚡️⭕️🔥 Yemen : Ansarallah media reveals Interviews with the crew of the "ETERNITY C" vessel confirm its destination to Umm al-Rashrash port and footage showing moments of crew rescue and handling War Media/ The Yemeni War Media published today, Monday, 3 Safar 1447 AH, corresponding to July 28, 2025, [interviews with the crew of the ETERNITY C vessel]( which was sunk by the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea. The vessel crew's recordings acknowledged its violation of the maritime navigation ban decision on occupied Palestinian ports, confirming that Umm al-Rashrash port was the ship's destination from Berbera port in Somalia, and that the Saudi port of Jeddah was a destination for camouflage and supply purposes. Several crew members confirmed that the ship's captain did not notify the crew of receiving a request not to pass and a warning not to pass from the Yemeni Naval Forces. The crew of the ETERNITY C vessel directed messages to companies whose ships sail toward Israeli entity ports not to trade and deal with Israelis, warning of "the danger of meeting the same fate," calling on ships and companies "not to turn off identification devices in this area." They directed their apology to Palestinians: "We apologize that our ship was heading to Israel." The footage showed part of the search and rescue operation carried out by the Yemeni Navy for the ETERNITY C crew, which lasted two days and successfully rescued 11 crew members at sea, including two injured who received medical care, while one body found aboard the ship before it sank was transferred to the hospital morgue. A military source indicated that the ETERNITY C vessel "was targeted after the captain refused to respond to the Yemeni Naval Forces' warning of direct targeting in case of non-compliance and after ignoring several warnings from the Yemeni Naval Forces on international channel (16) to stop immediately." The source noted that the ETERNITY C vessel is operated by COSMO SHIPMANAGTMENT SA, which has several ships that have dealt with Zionist entity ports, including the HSL NIKE vessel which shipped from Turkish and Egyptian ports to occupied Haifa ports in four trips during "March, April, June, July" of the current year, and the FAITH vessel which shipped two trips from Turkish and Egyptian ports during recent months. The source called on "all ship-owning and operating companies, the maritime community, and families not to deal with the Zionist entity regardless of offers to ensure the safety of ships and their crews," confirming that "maritime navigation is safe for all except Israeli ships or those heading to occupied Palestinian ports or ships of companies that violated the ban decision until the aggression and siege on Gaza stops." The source held "shipping companies violating the Yemeni decision fully responsible for the safety of their ships, working crews, and the marine environment," confirming the continuation of the Yemeni Armed Forces in "implementing the navigation ban decision on the Zionist entity and preventing the passage of any ship of any nationality or belonging to any owning company or operating company dealing with the entity." The military source noted that "all ships must open their communication identifiers," confirming that the Yemeni Naval Forces are ready to receive any calls and communications to assist ships and facilitate their passage through international channel 16 or via email info@navy.gov.ye

🚨NAVY LOGISTICS 🚨 Everyone seems concerned that the U.S. Navy ships in the Arabian Sea - carrier Abraham Lincoln stike group, 3-ship amphibious group based on Tripoli, and a surface action group centered on approximately 8 destroyers - are running low on food, with some pictures showing the supposed meals on board. To understand how the Navy supplies ships you have to understand how U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command, the fleet of civilian merchant mariner crewed ships work. There are three main considerations - fuel, food, and ammo. 1️⃣Fuel: There are two MSC oilers in the Indian Ocean. They provide alongside Underway Replenishment (UNREP) for diesel fuel for ship population and JP5 for aviation. The oilers can carry between 180 to 150k barrels of fuel. A Burke can carry about 12k bbls of fuel. When the oilers run low on fuel, they will either return to a forward base or meet up with commercial tankers from the US merchant marine, some in the Tanker Security Program. These tankers are equipped to receive rigs from the MSC oilers so that they can transfer fuel to the oilers. The oilers can maintain their forward presence as station oilers while the commercial tankers shuttle fuel. 2️⃣Food & Ammo: There are three MSC dry cargo/ammo ships in the region. To keep the ships supplied one of the T-AKEs will rotate through the ships providing either replenishment at sea or vertical replenishment via civilian embarked AS-332 helos. Another ship would be rotating out a forward base to reload and tag team with the station AKE. The third AKE, along with civilian commercial ships, many of the Maritime Security Program, would shuttle forward supplies from commercial ports or Defense Logisitics Agency depots. 3️⃣ The addition of the Bush Carrier Strike Group will allow the Lincoln to pull back for down time and resupply at a base. Bush has a fast combat support ship (T-AOE) that can carry a mix of food, fuel and ammo on a ship capable of 26 knots. This ship is a one-stop shop for a carrier strike group. The arrival of the Boxer amphibious group will also provide a relief for Tripoli or operate in SE Asia to intercept, divert or board Iranian ships. Now, does this mean every ship on the blockade is supplied to full capacity...probably not. But before everyone leaps to conclusions that sailors are not being provisioned, understand that the US Navy and U.S. Central Command has done this for a long time. At the same time, this logistic system can be more robust and represents a point of vulnerability for operations. MSC has experienced issues with crewing and availability of vessels.

WOAH 🚨 My jaw literally dropped listening to this The Los Angeles Police Department came and tried to clean up Skid Row and in a response a nonprofit working with Mayor Karen Bass SUED THEM and stopped police from EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO ENTER “LA CAN, which is another organization (an NGO), they get very, very upset and they sue the LAPD when they come and do street cleaning down here. And they're basically saying that their encampments are their Private property. Police can't enter, and they sued the police more than any other organization” Translation: They are suing to keep the homeless population right where they are so the NGO homeless money laundering industrial complex keeps running This same NGO has also launched protests to stop Skid Row from being cleaned up Pure insanity.

DEWS. HAARP intel: Here are some examples of how some of these Directed Energy Weapons[DEWS] are being implemented across the country and many parts of the world. The video shows a DEW being used on the Hengidl volcano in Iceland. You can literally see the laser ignite the volcano. This is technology from the early 2000s called Track Illuminator Laser, usually placed on Boeing YAL 1, and on US Navy ships. It works with HAARP from the sky and coordinates for frequencies. It can create mass fires like in Cali, and now other choice targets. They can also change the weather by shooting the DEWS into the dome, which then reflects heat back.

I'm listening to these 2 twinks from vox complain about stocking fish and fishing in general because "Invasive species" and how its ruining the waterways. They then go on to complain how outdoorsman are the only ones paying for conservation so they need to tax people who go outside more so they can fund things leftist want. This is a perfect example of the circular firing squad on the left. Their solution to not getting funding is to tax the people who already pay for everything even more and make it prohibitively expensive.

“We got a message from the Iranian side that one of the ships, which presumably was closest to our borders at that point of time, wanted to come into our port. On the 1st March, we said you can come in and it took them a few days to sail in and then they docked in Kochi. There were a lot of young cadets and they disembarked. So for us, when this ship wanted to come in and that too in difficulties, I think it was the humane thing to do. We were guided by that principle. In a sense of the other ships, one obviously had a similar situation in Sri Lanka and they took the decision that they did, and one unfortunately didn’t make it.” * ⁠EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar made it clear that there were two Iranian vessels. One docked safely in Kochi, while the other moved towards Sri Lanka. The vessel that remained under India’s watch stayed completely safe and secure.

“I don’t think the European countries are going to come and bail out of this mess. You have to think about the context here. Trump just spent a year hurting their economies on purpose, threatening to attack NATO, threatening to pull out of NATO. And then the Trump administration started this war without even bothering to consult them, didn’t take their interests into account until he needed them. And their populations are at historic levels of anti-Americanism because of how we’ve treated them over the last year.” “And they are democracies, so I don’t think their leaders are going to be able to overcome that. And why would they? It’s much easier, and you’ll see a bunch of countries doing this, to negotiate with the Iranians. The Iranians are setting up a system whereby they let the ships pass that they want to let pass. Just in the last 24 hours, they let several ships pass for countries that they’re not at war with. So if you were any country in the world, depending on this Strait, it’s much easier to make a deal with the Iranians than to send your ships down the Strait, to make them sitting ducks for Iranian drones and missiles, which seems crazy reckless.”

Our oceans – responsible for feeding billions, regulating our climate, and producing the air we breath – are in crisis. Their future depends on action that's needed now. The The Earthshot Prize Finalists to Revive Our Oceans are making waves to meet this challenge: @highseasallowance has become the first-ever global legal framework for Marine Protected Areas on the High Seas, aiming to protect marine life and secure the future of our oceans. Matter. is tackling microplastic pollution through a cost-efficient filter that can be scaled from individual homes to global supply chains, stopping microplastics before they reach our rivers and oceans. Bonds for Ocean Conservation is helping countries refinance debt and invest more into saving our oceans, aiming to unlock over $3 billion in funding for conversation and climate action by 2030.
