Revolutionizing Hull maintenance with EverClean
The EverClean initiative by Greensea IQ offers an innovative robotic solution designed to maintain the hulls of maritime vessels in optimal condition post-undocking, effectively preventing fouling and eliminating fuel inefficiencies.
the Importance of Hull Condition
The state of a ship’s hull plays a crucial role in its operational efficiency, directly influencing the carbon emissions of international shipping. The International Maritime Institution (IMO) has set an ambitious target to cut greenhouse gas emissions from maritime activities by 40% by 2030, as shipping currently contributes to 3% of global emissions.
