Remotely Operated Hull Cleaning Vehicle (ROHCV)

Robot that can clean fouling off ship hulls faster, gentler and more environment friendly

Funded by: EUDP

The project will verify and commission a remotely controlled robot (ROHCV) that can clean fouling off ship hulls faster, gentler and more environment friendly than current methods. The aim is that commercial hull cleaning must be performed already at prototype stage, so that it will contribute to funding subsequent ROHCVs.
