Innovative Solutions for Biofouling Management

We specialize in data collection and model development to enhance understanding of biofouling characteristics and optimize ship performance through advanced AI technologies.

A black, metallic barrier lines a waterfront, with a bold red and white 'No Trespassing No Tying Up' sign prominently displayed. Beneath the barrier, barnacles cling to the structure at the water's edge. The water below is a shade of turquoise, while a grey concrete wall or building provides the background with a red light fixture visible above the barrier.

A modern barge with a sleek design is stationed on the water, featuring a structure labeled 'The Ocean Cleanup.' It has a serial number '007' and is equipped with an extended boom-like apparatus floating on the water's surface. The backdrop includes a rocky breakwater with a few people walking along it and a clear, blue sky.
