ScrubMarine, a pioneering marine sector startup, is diving headfirst into the inaugural cohort of Heriot-Watt University’s DeepTech LaunchPad. The company, led by engineer Clyne Albertelli, is making waves with its underwater robot designed to combat biofouling—a persistent challenge for the shipping industry.
Biofouling is the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, and algae on marine vessels. It poses significant threats to hull structures and propulsion systems.
ScrubMarine’s autonomous underwater robot is on a mission to scrub away these challenges, promising to cut fuel costs, reduce maintenance needs, and minimize environmental impact for ships, boats, and submarines.
