A new era of
ship maintenance

Made in Switzerland

UNSEEN, BUT EVER-PRESENT

Biofouling - The Persistent Threat

Biofouling poses a constant challenge to maritime operations, affecting speed, fuel efficiency, and the spread of invasive species.

Toxic Anti-Fouling Paint

Toxic Anti-Fouling Paint

Traditionally antifouling paints are used that harm the marine ecosystem. We enable clean hulls without toxic chemicals.

Invasive Species

Invasive Species

Ships transport invasive species across oceans through biofouling. Our robotic cleaning prevents these hitchhikers from spreading.

Higher Fuel Consumption

Higher Fuel Consumption

Biofouling increases drag and fuel consumption significantly. Our technology maintains clean hulls for optimal vessel efficiency.

Higher Downtime

Higher Downtime

Traditional cleaning requires costly dry dock time and vessel downtime. Our autonomous systems clean while ships operate.

OCEANS THRIVE WHEN ROBOTICS LEADS.

From the Heart of Europe
to the Ships of the World


Born in Switzerland, deployed globally:
We're building the infrastructure for modern fleet maintenance.

Biofouling costs billions.

With HYDRA, we built the fix.

We listened to ship operators, captains, superintendents, and fleet managers— HYDRA is designed around what the industry actually needs: a hull maintenance solution that is reliable, autonomous, and has a strong ROI.
