CRABI Robotics adds C Transport Maritime as investor and pilot partner

Jul 21, 2025 · Partnership · CRABI Robotics · Maritime

C Transport Maritime joined CRABI Robotics as an investor and pilot partner, providing vessels for live operational validation of CRABI's autonomous in-transit hull-cleaning system.

CRABI's robot attaches to a ship hull and removes biofouling while the vessel remains underway, aiming to reduce drag, fuel use and emissions without taking the vessel out of service for cleaning.
