Yaisu Intel-tech: Innovative Ship Hull Cleaning Robot Redefines Underwater Maintenance

Against the backdrop of global shipping’s green transformation and cost-reduction initiatives, marine biofouling on 

underwater infrastructure has long been a pressing challenge for the shipping, offshore energy, and marine engineering 

industries. Traditional manual diver cleaning is high-risk, inefficient, and chemical cleaning methods pose unavoidable 

threats to marine ecosystems. As a pioneering force in specialized intelligent robotics, Yaisu Intel-tech has launched a 

new-generation Ship Hull Cleaning Robot, delivering an efficient and eco-friendly solution to revolutionize underwater 

infrastructure maintenance.

Yaisu Intel-tech’s Ship Hull Cleaning Robot is an automated cleaning device specifically designed for removing stubborn 

biofouling like barnacles, algae, and mussels from ship hulls and offshore platforms. It integrates three core technologies: 

high-pressure water jet cleaning, strong magnetic adsorption, and AI intelligent control, completing the full upgrade from 

high-risk manual work to intelligent automated operation. Compared with traditional manual cleaning, this robot improves

 cleaning efficiency by more than 300%. The high-pressure water jet quickly strips stubborn attachments without 

damaging the base material of the hull, and it simultaneously removes surface rust, laying a solid foundation for 

subsequent anti-corrosion maintenance and extending the service life of underwater infrastructure.

The innovative magnetic adsorption technology allows the robot to easily adapt to the complex curved surfaces of ship 

hulls, autonomously crossing obstacles on different structures such as ship sides, bows, and bottoms. It can operate stably 

in both conventional hull cleaning and dry-dock bottom maintenance scenarios, adapting to most ship tonnages. For the 

special requirements of the petrochemical industry, Yaisu Intel-tech also offers a customized explosion-proof version that 

can safely work inside flammable and explosive petrochemical storage tanks, efficiently cleaning inner wall oil stains and 

biological residues, eliminating the safety hazards of manual entry and filling a gap in the industry.

Environmentally friendly is the core advantage of Yaisu’s solution. This product adopts pure physical cleaning, replacing 

traditional chemical processes, and discharges no harmful pollutants into the ocean. With a professional wastewater 

recovery system, it prevents cleaning residues from entering the ocean, fully complying with IMO environmental 

regulations and helping shipping companies meet the requirements of modern green ports, avoiding compliance risks. 

After cleaning, hull smoothness is significantly restored, which reduces sailing resistance. According to estimates, regular 

cleaning with Yaisu’s robot can cut fuel consumption by 10%-15%, saving shipping companies hundreds of thousands 

to millions of dollars in fuel costs annually, with a much shorter payback period than traditional solutions.

Backed by a R&D team with years of technological accumulation, Yaisu Intel-tech provides customized solutions and 

full-lifecycle service for global clients, empowering the intelligent upgrade of the marine maintenance industry.
