Look, I dont want to take anything away from what is undoubtedly a fabulous machine, but catching my own reflection in the kitchen door whilst watching a robot cleaning an oil-tanker at 11.00 pm can only mean one thing... I have GOT TO get a girlfriend!
Needed one of these when I was in the Navy... rather than a punt and a pry-bar. And, no, that's not an exaggeration or a joke, they put us over the side wearing a bulky Kapoc with a basic pry-bar you can purchase at Lowes, it was sometimes bound to a broom handle, we were in a punt being pulled along by deck-hands above; my ship was 887 feet long.
I was in the merchant navy . We went into Singapore bay once , stayed there a week while the hull bottom was scraped, and yes I do mean scraped. Divers in scuba gear went down in shifts with a long handled scraper and did the whole job
@@gonnagetya1433 Probably would work with some crazy strong magnets and hooked to a rope at the bow of the ship. But in reality it's not necessary to work while moving.

that is fantastic, I wish I had this equipment many yeas ago. I use to do it then using hydraulic powered brushes manually operated under-water, it was hard and dirty and always at risk of shark and other nasty critters, the good thing about that work was it kept me very fit
This is amazing... To bad we didnt have this in 03 when my ship was in dry dock, we did this by hand with a pressure gun. Should try to market this to military branches, coast guard and the Navy could really use this machine.
I think we use this for drydocked subs. Cover the area with a large canopy to keep everything somewhat contained and keeps barnacles from flying all over.

I always thought something exactly like this would work for tanker ship oil spills. If instead of water it shot some kind of resin that would stick to the outside of the hull and slowly make the hole smaller. Also I wonder if this could be deployed while sailing which would be pretty badass..?
I don't think the resin could stick to anything while the oil is actively gushing out from the hole. Instead you can check out the "Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks" used on aircraft. However I dont think the tankers would swap out their original tanks due to cost reasons.
@@cabbagecabbage5047 That would be interesting to test. I guess just take a can of spray foam below the surface of some old oil. That stuff is amazingly sticky.
It's funny, while watching someone do some manual (water jet) hull cleaning I thought of something similar to this. Just now I had an idea of a system that reaches from just above the water line (marking) to the keel and moves from stem to stern (obstructions?). ;-)
Theat would be great for armed forces vessels, use on top of a flight deck and submurged area. Easy to operate, inspect, clean and savings on manpower.
Hi Thomas, exactly. Waterjet is preferred for this application over grit blasting so there is no risk of grit getting jammed in the cavities and then blocking the weaponry when you need them firing!
@@Alan.livingston Agreed. Also it looks allot safer with less operator error causing bodily harm, HP/UHP injuries can be really bad. It looks a great tool to have 👍🏼
Yup... in the maritime journals I've been reading lately there is a lot of focus on ballast water as a vector of invasive aquatic species transfer, but the biofouling can do that, too. And we're probably talking about an accretion from many different ports. Good point!
One way or another with the amount of shipping it's going to happen. Its been going on since the planet was invented, echoes float or get blown across vast distances , just the way the planet works
You're right... we should put up fences in the ocean at 100 meters square to prevent ocean aquatic species transfer. Maybe we can do the same with the clouds to prevent cloud species transfer with moving weather systems and heat transfer of global warming. We should raise taxes for the middle class to pay for all of this too.
Probably not in the USA, but pressure washing a hull over open water is illegal in a lot of countries because the anti-fouling contains heavy metals and pesticides.
@Xi Jinping says Sinis irrumabo I've only been to the ocean once in my life when I was very young and I've never seen an ocean size ship ( I'm not a big fan of water that has animals that can fit my house in its mouth) but the ships themselves are neat and is like to get on one and see how they work.
I don't wish to sound anti-tech, but why not just have a boat with a high pressure sprayer do the same thing? Seems to me you could get the job done quicker with a larger sprayer mounted to a boat that would be able to hose the entire ships side down instead of needing to make several passes as such a slow speed with the mag crawler?
Aaaaaaaaaaand, a lot of people are out of work. Man, get a hundred of those on one tanker and it'll be a far faster cleanup ran by one person. A thousand? That one person is now the vessel cleaner and manager and port owner and is looking for ways to get the janitors job.
Great machine but...depending on where the ship came from letting loose that much live marine growth in your waters will undoubtedly release some invasive species. Not saying every time but there are probably ecological impacts, how big, I don’t know.

Sacrificial anodes and paint.

As a Jew, I find this highly inoffensive. Job well done.
There’s no discrimination, all barnacles are treated equally
Holocaust means sacrifice by fire , more like genocide.

make something similar for Bulk carrier cargo hold cleaning. Will have to be much smaller and fit between frames.

Pretty awesome. Does this mean you can clean the entire hull without the need of a drydock? :)

Surely they using this at Hanford and Fukashima to clean those messes up right?
This seems very clever. Could you perhaps use multiple at a time on a single ship, or is that just not necessary?
The little cleaning car that could.
Seriously how'd this wind up in my feed? It's AWESOME, but how?
Social engineering my friend. The Tavistock Institute are expert at making you push the buttons that they provide to you.
Magnets! How do they work?
(Mostly horizontal, but occasionally vertical and they have weekends off).
im assuming its uses high pressure salt to clean the ship , diminish returns.
Figures, I just purchased an oil tanker. I was sold on the fiberglass hull reinforced with non-ferrous metals.
Just my luck.
🇮🇩👍🏻That was awesome. Great technology
I wonder how many tons that tanker lost being cleaned and how may knots it gained?
so long as they dump those barnacles in the ships home port

Do a couple of ships like that and you need to dredge your harbor though...
Man, that works a treat!
Kramerica Industries came up with this right after coming up with their bladder system for oil tankers
Thanks RUclips. I was curious about this -_-
So it’s just pressure washing with more steps
The robots programming is basically a massive list of steps.
Nice and clean 👍
Is it actually any effective at cleaning below the water line? I can't imagine the pressure goes very far.
Does not need to go far with the nozzle right over the surface...

Thought same. And even if not invasive, a few scrubbings is gonna leave one big pile of crud in harbor. Who pays for extra dredging?
Its gonna happen anyway whether its manually removed or with this blaster
There are no worse impacts than the ship floating around CARRYING that same marine growth already.
Get a couple of IQ to rub together and THEN talk.
