The Silent Thief of Fleet Efficiency
Biofouling isn't just a maintenance issue; it's a direct attack on your bottom line. A mere 0.5mm layer of slime can increase fuel consumption by 25%. For hard fouling like barnacles, that number skyrockets to over 40%.
The cost of inaction is not just the fuel. It's lost time, compromised safety, and regulatory jeopardy.
Manual Diving
Slow, dangerous, and inconsistent. Results vary from diver to diver, and it's impossible in many port conditions.
Abrasive Brushes
Damages expensive anti-fouling coatings, leading to even faster regrowth and costly dry-docking.
Environmental Fines
Releasing invasive species during cleaning is now a major compliance risk in ports across the globe.
MANATEE: Your AI Co-Pilot For Pristine Hull
Sealand Technology has engineered the definitive solution to biofouling. Our MANATEE series robots are semi-autonomous, AI-driven platforms that restore your vessel to peak hydrodynamic performance with surgical precision.
We deploy our robotic hull cleaning service directly at your port of call—Hong Kong, Singapore, and major hubs across the ASEAN region. No divers, no downtime, no compromises.

Operational Time
The Deep Blue AI Platform
This is the brain. Our AI analyzes the hull's geometry, identifies the type and density of fouling, and plots the most efficient cleaning path in real-time. It's not just following a pattern; it's making intelligent decisions.
Advanced Cavitation Cleaning
Forget abrasive brushes. We use controlled cavitation—harnessing the power of imploding micro-bubbles to create powerful, non-damaging jets of water. This technique obliterates biofouling while preserving your expensive anti-fouling paint.
Eco-Friendly Debris Capture
Our system captures and filters all removed biofouling, ensuring no invasive species are released into the local marine environment. This meets the strictest port authority regulations.
Autonomous, 24/7 Operation
Our robots can operate day or night, in clear or turbid water, allowing us to service your vessel during routine cargo operations. Your schedule, Your way
More Than A Cleaning Service
Maximize Your
ROI
The fuel savings from a single cleaning can pay for the service multiple times over within a year. We provide a clear, measurable return on investment.
Strengthen Your
ESG Score
Drastically cutting CO2 emissions and preventing the spread of invasive species are powerful, reportable metrics for your sustainability and ESG reports.
Enhance Crew & Asset Safety
By removing the need for human divers, you eliminate the risk of underwater accidents and associated liabilities.
Gain Actionable Intelligence
Post-cleaning, you receive a detailed hull condition report, including high-resolution imagery and data that can inform your long-term maintenance strategy.
