What is ECOsubsea Hull Cleaning?
ECOsubsea Hull Cleaning delivers state-of-the-art biofouling removal that’s been fine-tuned over more than a decade. This project brings together ship owners, coating manufacturers, ports, and environmental regulators to create an award-winning, sustainable hull cleaning solution. The magic lies in its closed-loop cleaning technology, which captures all debris through a multi-layered filtration and treatment system. This means strict port regulations are met without compromising the vessel’s coating integrity or lifespan. It’s hull cleaning, but smarter and greener.
Main Benefits of ECOsubsea Hull Cleaning
Here’s what makes ECOsubsea stand out:
- Mobile shore-operated unit – cleaning speed ranges from 300 to 600 m² per hour, depending on vessel size and fouling condition.
- Closed-loop system – absolutely no biofouling released into the water, keeping the environment safe.
- Soft water jets – these clean effectively without damaging the vessel’s coating, preserving its lifespan.
- Summary report – sent within 24 hours, complete with detailed pictures and procedure information for full transparency.
Where Does ECOsubsea Operate?
The service covers a wide range of ports across Europe and Asia, making it accessible to many vessels worldwide. In Norway, ports like Kristiansund, Ålesund, Florø, Mongstad, Bergen, Haugesund, Stavanger, Farsund, and Kristiansand are serviced. Across the globe, the Port of Singapore benefits from ECOsubsea’s expertise. In the UK, Southampton, Portland, Portsmouth, and HMNB Devonport are on the list. The Netherlands sees service in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Ijmuiden, Terneuzen, and Vlissingen. Belgium’s Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Oostende, and Ghent also enjoy this innovative cleaning solution.
Introducing the Panther 10X
Launched in Singapore, the Panther 10x is a game-changer for hull cleaning during bunkering. It’s ultra-efficient and designed to clean without extending port stays — a huge plus for busy schedules. What’s impressive? It operates in currents over 2 knots and can be deployed in about 7 minutes. Quick, effective, and hassle-free. This tech really pushes the boundaries of what hull cleaning can be.
How Does the Technology Work?
The heart of ECOsubsea’s system is its closed-loop technology. This means all biofouling and debris are captured and treated on the spot, preventing any contamination of the surrounding waters. Soft water jets do the cleaning, which is gentle enough to protect the vessel’s coating but tough enough to remove stubborn biofouling. The process is mobile and shore-operated, allowing for flexibility and speed. Plus, the detailed reports sent within 24 hours keep ship owners and regulators in the loop, ensuring transparency and trust.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 14: Life Below Water – by preventing biofouling release, it protects marine ecosystems.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – through cutting-edge cleaning technology.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – promoting sustainable hull maintenance.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – by preserving vessel coatings, it helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
