Meet CRABI
The Crud Removal Autonomous Brushing Instrument (CRABI) is a fully autonomous marine robotic system designed to conduct in-transit cleaning & inspection of marine vessels, removing biofouling.
By cleaning and measuring hulls continuously, CRABI guarantees optimum fuel efficiency for your fleet with no off-hire time or extended port stays.

For every ship, grooming can
9-17% lower hull resistance reduces fuel costs from ~$400,000 to $4,000,000 / yr
Reduces C02 emissions by up to 2,000 to 20,000 tons/year
Take CII rating from a D or an E to a C, save >$250,000 in ETS allowances
Benefits
