About

About Clearbot Class 3

Clearbot Class 3 is a large electric autonomous surface vessel for floating-debris collection, hydrographic surveys and waterway monitoring. Its 4.04-metre catamaran platform is intended for ports, harbours and managed waterways. The manufacturer lists eight hours of battery operation, a five-kilometre range, solar charging and a debris-collection rate of up to 200 kilograms per hour.

The platform can be configured for bathymetric mapping, draft surveys and water-quality monitoring, with a dashboard for mission oversight and collected data. Clearbot describes cleanup projects at Umiam Lake in Meghalaya and Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Mumbai. Its JNPA case reports collection loads of 500 kilograms; that operating claim is separate from a general structural payload rating. The vessel is commercially offered through project consultation, while sensor and collection configurations depend on the application.
