The article concerns efforts to clean the bottoms of massive ships, particularly oil tankers, many of which have had hundreds of marine creatures such as oysters and mollusks lodged on their hulls due to accumulation over the past months in the waters of the Gulf. This buildup disrupts traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and threatens the resumption of global oil flows. The cleaning process requires teams of divers using hand tools and pressure equipment to remove biological contamination, a task that demands considerable time and effort, especially with 600 ships awaiting transit. Removing these marine organisms is essential to improve fuel efficiency and ensure compliance with environmental regulations, as their accumulation causes economic losses and jeopardizes energy supply security.
