Hullbot’s unparalleled manoeuvrability and autonomy enable cleaning of propellers and niche areas.
How the Hullbot service works
- 01
Assess
Build your tailored cleaning solution
Every vessel and fleet is different. We assess your vessel, operating profile, coating and fouling risk to build a proactive cleaning program specific to your operations. We work together to determine optimal cleaning frequency, service locations, operational windows, and coating compatibility and condition.
- 02
Deploy
We clean where your fleet is
We come to you. No dry-dock. No divers. No special infrastructure. The robot deploys at berth or anchorage. Our highly trained technicians monitor and control deployment. On-site or remotely. Ensuring precision and safety through each operation.

Real-time data & performance insights
Visibility into hull performance
During every operation, Hullbot captures detailed imagery of your hull’s condition. This data is reviewed and analysed to track biofouling progression, coating health, and the performance impact of cleaning on fuel consumption and emissions, and your Carbon Intensity performance reporting.
Managing global compliance
Hullbot manages all port authority and biosecurity approvals on your behalf. Our service is designed to meet international biosecurity standards, ensuring your vessel remains compliant at every port call.
We manage the permits, approvals and coordination for every service.
Port authority coordination
We liaise directly with port authorities to secure all necessary permits for hull cleaning and inspection.
Biosecurity compliance
Our proactive in-water grooming without capture method adheres to the international biofouling management guidelines.
Coating safety
All operations are compatible with major antifouling coating systems. No damage risk to your vessel coatings.
Powered by the world’s most advanced underwater robotics platform
Gentle cleaning
Our gentle brushes are effective and safe on all coatings. Cleaning speed, pressures and brush type are adjusted to suit the coating.
Advanced vision
4K cameras enable autonomous navigation and high-quality footage.
Free-swimming
No magnets. No tracks. No divers. Our robots can clean curved surfaces and niche areas, including aluminium hulls.
