UNSEEN, BUT EVER-PRESENT
Biofouling poses a constant challenge to maritime operations, affecting speed, fuel efficiency, and the spread of invasive species.
Traditionally antifouling paints are used that harm the marine ecosystem. We enable clean hulls without toxic chemicals.
Ships transport invasive species across oceans through biofouling. Our robotic cleaning prevents these hitchhikers from spreading.
Biofouling increases drag and fuel consumption significantly. Our technology maintains clean hulls for optimal vessel efficiency.
Traditional cleaning requires costly dry dock time and vessel downtime. Our autonomous systems clean while ships operate.
OCEANS THRIVE WHEN ROBOTICS LEADS.
Born in Switzerland, deployed globally:
We're building the infrastructure for modern fleet maintenance.
