SummaryHundreds of oil tankers stuck in the Strait of Hormuz for months have accumulated thick layers of barnacles and marine life.Diving teams are now charging upwards of five figures per ship to scrape off the biofouling that reduces fuel efficiency.The cleaning is just one obstacle delaying the restart of global oil shipments through the reopened strait.AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.“Four months?” said Derek Hamm of Obsessive Compulsive Divers in Marathon, Florida. “Man. That’s plenty of time for a lot of gross stuff to accumulate.”Barnacles, mussels, clams, algae and other warm-seawater-dwelling fauna and flora have latched onto hundreds of massive oil tankers anchored in the Persian Gulf over the past several months. To get the ships in sailing condition, all those crustaceans, bivalves and more will have to be cleared by large crews of scuba divers with an unappealing job title: “bottom cleaners.”“In the maritime world, it’s not so weird,” said Hamm, a professional bottom cleaner.Oil tankers and cargo vessels remain anchored off Port Sultan Qaboos on June 21, 2026 in Muscat, Oman.Elke Scholiers/Getty ImagesBiofouling, maritime industry lingo for the wildlife that accumulates on ships, presents a more complex problem than you might think. Oil tankers stuck in the Strait of Hormuz can’t get moving until they unstick what’s been stuck onto them.It’s yet another complication in getting the world’s oil flowing again after months of war created the world’s biggest energy supply shock in history.What it takes to scrape a boat bottomOil supertankers are more than 1,000 feet long with a beam (horizontal length) of around 150 feet. That’s roughly 150,000 square feet of bottom to clean; crews of five to six divers will need to spend roughly four to five hours with hand scrapers and power washers to rid each vessel of biofoul.With 600 anchored ships looking to clear the strait, that’s some serious work – and a ton of hours.“The work is straightforward
