Delta Boatwash
Smart Hull Cleaning
Distributor of ‘Drive-in Boatwash®’ floating careenage stations
For a more sustainable world
The fairing revolution
Based on the principle of a car wash, but for pleasure boats and with underwater brushing.
Designed and manufactured in Sweden, this in-water careenage system is a real revolution in terms of both ecology and economy.
Since 2009, nearly 30 stations have already been set up around the world.
Our mission is to protect the marine environment by offering solutions that eliminate the need for toxic antifouling, while providing economic and practical benefits to boaters and boating professionals.
The alternative to toxic antifouling agents
Why Delta Boatwash?
Every year, around 100,000 tonnes of antifouling paint are sold worldwide, including 20,000 tonnes in Europe, with growth of around 2% per year.
- 1 m² of antifouling applied to a hull contains 15 grams of biocide.
- 1 gram of biocide pollutes 10,000 m³ of water.
Fortunately, legislation on ocean pollution is becoming increasingly strict.
Ultimately, hulls will have to be cleaned mechanically rather than chemically.
And that’s good news for the environment.
The Drive-in Boatwash® concept is a sustainable solution that eliminates the need for toxic antifouling and hull cleaning:
- without having to take boats out of the water,
- without using running water.
