ECOsubsea
Providing environmentally friendly Hull Cleaning service and Biofouling Management solutions to the shipping industry
About ECOsubsea
ECOsubsea provides eco-friendly underwater hull cleaning, inspection, and biofouling management services aimed at enhancing vessel efficiency and promoting environmental sustainability. The company addresses the significant issue of biofouling, which can increase fuel consumption and lead to the transfer of invasive species.
Operating within the global shipping industry, ECOsubsea serves a diverse client base that includes commercial vessels and cruise ships. The company collaborates with a global network of ship-services to deliver its solutions efficiently across various locations. Its business model revolves around offering a specialized cleaning service that not only improves the operational performance of vessels but also helps clients comply with environmental regulations.
The core of its service is a proprietary technology that has been developed over several years. This system utilizes patented "soft jets" for effective and non-damaging hull cleaning. A key differentiator is its closed-loop system, which captures the biofouling removed from the hull, preventing it from being released into the marine environment. This captured waste can then be processed and utilized for other purposes, such as biofuel, adding a circular economy aspect to its operations.
Recent fundraising of $12 million is set to accelerate the company's growth and the adoption of its green technology within the shipping industry.
