This video, titled "船底掃除の風景 The bottom of a ship cleaning," was released by "fujiyamaotoshi." This video shows how they clean the bottom of a yacht that has been floating in the sea for about 3 years. If you leave your boat in the water like this, it'll get covered in dirt and barnacles. If left unattended, the ship will stop moving because the propeller won't turn and the weight of the ship will increase, resulting in poor fuel efficiency and many other problems. So, as shown in the video, it's important to clean your boat both thoroughly and frequently!

The video shows the massive Sanwa Dock, that will be used specifically for repairing ships. This is a large-scale project with a total investment of more than 10 billion yen, and the completion of this large dock has made it possible to repair as many as 300 vessels per year.
