DESCRIPTION

SR-HullBUG is a Cleaning-Robots from SeaRobotics. It is built for Cleaning, Inspection.

The SR-HullBUG is SeaRobotics' semi-autonomous hull-cleaning robot, which grooms a ship's hull with light brushes to remove the early signs of biofouling. Keeping the hull smooth cuts the hydrodynamic drag that biofouling builds up, which otherwise drives up fuel costs and greenhouse-gas emissions. Unlike divers with abrasive brushes and tools, which tend to wear away the ablative anti-fouling coating and force a costly period of dry-docking for recoating, regular gentle grooming with the SR-HullBUG keeps the coating intact and the ship in service. It is deployed from the quayside with a trailer-mounted support system.
