The Smart Choice: Reduce Fuel, Enhance Safety with Robotic Hull Cleaning!
Here is how you can reduce cost and enhance safety in Hull Cleaning!
Beneath the water lies a persistent challenge
Biofouling - algae, barnacles, and other marine organisms clinging to the ship’s hull can silently yet significantly impact the vessel's performance and fuel efficiency.
The cost of an unclean hull is a well-known burden.
At CLIIN Robotics, we offer the optimal solution that is not only highly effective, reducing fuel consumption, but also prioritizes the safety of operators and diving teams that perform the hull cleaning process.
The Hidden Costs
A layer of marine growth is like driving with the brakes partially applied. This increased resistance directly translates to higher fuel consumption, impacting your operational costs and environmental footprint by creating higher CO2 emissions than necessary.
Beyond fuel, biofouling can accelerate corrosion, leading to costly repairs and reducing the lifespan of the vessels.
Furthermore, the transfer of invasive species via ship hulls is a growing concern, making efficient and thorough cleaning a global imperative and responsibility.
Beyond the Waterline
The area above the waterline has presented a challenge for effective hull cleaning.
Manual cleaning above the waterline has often been performed by divers or teams working from rocking boats; this manual process was not only time-consuming but also resulted in inconsistent results and safety hazards.
Our CLIIN hull cleaning robot has been successfully deployed on vessels with cleaning above and under the waterline, a task that was once beyond reach for automated solutions.
Using a CLIIN robot, you can now tackle an area previously requiring the most labor-intensive and often least effective methods.
Enhanced Safety: An Important Priority
The risk associated with manual hull cleaning in challenging conditions can be drastically reduced by using a robot cleaning solution, which significantly enhances diver safety by reducing their exposure to hazardous environments like strong currents and demanding physical labour.
Let us share the perspective of our customers who have experienced this firsthand.
Jason Young Kiang Chee, Managing Director of Divetech Marine Services, a leading name in subsea services and solutions, says it perfectly:
“In our continued pursuit of smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions, this new technology has proven to be a game-changer. It not only meets our operational needs but also gives us a competitive edge in delivering comprehensive and sustainable subsea services.”
This sentiment resonates deeply with our mission.
By offering our robotic hull cleaning robot, you can drastically reduce the amount of time divers spend in the water, especially in areas that are difficult or dangerous to access manually. This translates to fewer risks, less fatigue, and ultimately, a safer working environment.
Our hull cleaning robots take on the most challenging aspects of the cleaning process, both above and under the waterline. Reducing the fuel consumption, lowering the CO2 emission and reducing the risk of transporting invasive species. Making the hull cleaning safer for operators and the cleaning crew.
