Brush hull cleaning by Drive-In Boatwash® (DIB) technology is changing the landscape of boat maintenance. DIB design, manufacture and install machines for brush washing boats in water. The technology is both a cost effective and convenient boat maintenance system for boat owners and marina operators. The convenience and effectiveness of the process facilitates excellent boat maintenance, and boat washing with DIB eliminates the need for divers to clean the hull and to apply toxic anti-fouling paint. DIB enables greater boat performance and speed with less fuel consumption and less CO2, and supports environmental regulation on antifouling. Mechanical brush washing is a recommended environmental strategy for antifouling elimination. Fouling is removed in a matter of minutes, and the debris is collected in a large basin underneath. This user-friendly hull cleaning system saves both time and money for the boat owner, while generating an income stream for marina operators. The system's positive impact on the environment has rapidly gained recognition.
