Hull Guardian
The Intelligent Hull Standard
Proactive robotic hull grooming in Auckland
Robotic Hull Cleaning
& Grooming Subscription
Proactive hull management for optimized performance. Hull Guardian operates a robotic grooming membership designed to protect your hull, extend your antifoul lifespan, maximize fuel efficiency and improve year-round biosecurity compliance.
Vessel Performance
A fouled hull creates hydrodynamic drag, forcing your engines to work harder to reach cruising speed. Proactive cleaning keeps your hull hydro-dynamically smooth. This eliminates unnecessary engine load, reduces long-term wear on your machinery, and improves fuel efficiency by up to 20%.
Cost Saving
Traditional maintenance is reactive and expensive. By actively removing micro-fouling before it becomes established, we protect and extend the effective lifespan of your antifoul coating. A Hull Guardian subscription can push back your expensive boatyard haul-outs and hardstand schedules by months or even years, saving you thousands annually.
Peace of Mind
Operate with zero guesswork. Our closed-loop robotic system captures bio-waste down to 50 microns, aligning with New Zealand’s Marine Biosecurity rules. After every service, you receive our 'Guardian Diagnostic' report complete with before and after photos and key video clips of your hull and running gear, giving you absolute confidence in your vessel's condition.
Set and Forget Management
Hull Guardian replaces reactive scrubbing with proactive robotic grooming. Using state of the art ROV technology, we maintain your hull at LOF Level 1 (Slime-Free) on a customized, recurring rotation.
Our soft-foam technology wipes away biofilm without scratching your gelcoat or degrading your antifoul. Your paint lasts significantly longer.
We don't pollute your marina. Our system features a closed-loop 50-micron vacuum that captures biological waste for safe, land-based disposal.
We take the guesswork out of hull maintenance. After every groom, we send a visual report with clear before-and-after photos and key video snippets of your hull, running gear, and intakes straight to your phone
Our Process
1. The Launch
We deploy the specialized drone straight from the finger next to your moored vessel. It securely adheres to the hull using an internal suction pump.
2. The Robotic Groom
Using soft-nylon brushes, the drone gently wipes away bio-slime and biofilm while capturing the biomass in a 50-micron vacuum filter, helping reduce pollution within the marina.
3. The Visual Report
You receive a time-stamped summary featuring clear before-and-after photos and key video snippets proving your hull is clean, fast, and biosecurity compliant.
