With a cascade of ever-tightening restrictions on emissions coming down from IMO, there has been an explosion of new solutions purporting to keep ship hulls clean. But all tech is not created equal, and Greensea IQ founder and CEO Ben Kinnaman – a pioneer in the sector – assesses that some are nothing more than ‘glorified pool cleaners.’ But in the end, Kinnaman and his Greensea IQ team realize, shipowners don’t care about clean hulls; shipowners don’t care about robots. But they do care about fuel efficiency, and Greensea IQ offers the robotic tools needed to help vessel owners save fuel while providing them with myriad data on hull condition that aids in effective lifecycle maintenance.
