CRABI Robotics adds C Transport Maritime as investor and pilot partner
C Transport Maritime joined CRABI Robotics as an investor and pilot partner, providing vessels for live operational validation of CRABI's autonomous in-transit hull-cleaning system.
Why it matters
CRABI's robot attaches to a ship hull and removes biofouling while the vessel remains underway, aiming to reduce drag, fuel use and emissions without taking the vessel out of service for cleaning.
Evidence notes
- C Transport Maritime joined CRABI Robotics as both an investor and pilot partner.
- CTM will support operational validation of the autonomous hull-cleaning system aboard its fleet.
- The robot attaches to a ship hull and cleans while the vessel remains underway, avoiding a maintenance stop.
- Continuous biofouling removal is intended to improve hydrodynamics and reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
