Hullbot

Hullbot develops autonomous underwater robots that provide frequent hull cleaning services for commercial vessels and private yachts, preventing biofouling buildup to reduce drag, fuel consumption, and emissions. The company's proactive grooming approach cleans early and often, maintaining hull condition at nominal fouling levels rather than requiring intensive reactive cleaning. Hullbot's robots feature gentle brushes compatible with all coating types, adjustable cleaning speed and pressure, and unparalleled maneuverability for cleaning propellers and niche areas. The platform operates day and night around fleet schedules, provides regular hull condition inspections without divers, and delivers real-time analytics on vessel performance. Hullbot complies with global environmental standards and liaises with local regulators on behalf of clients. The company is deploying globally from international hubs including Stockholm, serving fleet operators with proven fuel savings and ROI. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia, the company has raised approximately $16 million at the Series A stage.
