travel times, but also significantly increases system availability and the responsiveness of operational teams. Especially for short-notice maintenance tasks or emergency repairs, companies gain a notable operational advantage.From Cutting Processes to Algae RemovalThe range of possible applications is diverse: cutting sheet metal and pipes during the decommissioning of oil rigs, removing coatings, paint, and marine fouling, inspecting and maintaining valves and load-bearing structures on pipelines or offshore platforms. The latter in particular are often completely overgrown with algae after a few years
