Carbon emissions
Biofouling on hulls increases fuel usage and contributes more than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Keeping hulls clean saves fuel and reduces emissions.
Our mission
Decarbonising the global maritime industry
We are building the world’s most advanced underwater robotics platform to decarbonise shipping and improve the efficiency of marine vessels around the world.

Hullbot service can reduce emissions by 10–40% across fleets. Join our mission to reduce half a gigaton CO₂e per year by 2035.
A healthier ocean
Solving the ocean’s
biggest problems
Microplastics & toxic paints
Antifouling coatings release toxic biocides and are a major source of ocean microplastics. Proactive grooming enables non-toxic coatings and extends coating life.
Biosecurity
Nearly 80% of invasive marine species transfer is caused by hull biofouling, threatening ecosystems around the world.
