Hull Grooming with Robots
Each year 37 Million MT of Fuel is wasted due to hull fouling 90 metric tons of fuel are consumed, 280 metric tons of CO2 is emitted , $50,000 is spend , in transporting an insignificant 6 mm layer of grass and algae on a ship’s hull from USA to China.
ALICIA Robotic Platform
User Friendly – shipboard based ROV deployed and retracted by crew, can have autonomous, remote and manual operation, produces automated report.
Efficient – Revolutionizes shipping efficiency by proactively minimizing hull fouling, resulting in substantial fuel savings. This eliminates the need for traditional, reactive methods like diving operations.
Automated – Employs a magnetic crawler equipped with NDT mounts, to offer the oil and gas industry advanced automated inspections. This ensures enhanced structural integrity through comprehensive corrosion monitoring and ultrasonic scanning.
A conservative estimate suggests an average savings of 6 mt/day fuel from each Suezmax Vessel
3 -year Hull Cleaning Budget for 40 Ships:
Average Increase in Fuel Consumption before cleaning:
By adapting to Roverclean shipowners can save on an average 10% in Fuel consumptions and thus lowering emissions
1% increase in Hull resistance leads to 3% increase in fuel consumptions; Hull fouling contributes to at least 30% of all shipping emissions
8% improvement in fuel efficiency with Roverclean as compared to periodic cleanings and conventional methods
