With boat owners choosing green solutions for anti-fouling, it is important to provide viable options. By using Keelcrab(TM) to extend the life of existing anti-biofouling treatments or to use instead of anti-fouling paints, the marine environment will benefit.
The use of Keelcrab and Ultracrab can be used to increase the amount of time needed between applications of anti-biofouling treatments, allowing your boat to spend more time in the water and less time dry-docked. You do not need to use divers to manually clean your hull.
The underwater HD camera and LED lights can record images and video of your hull before and after treatment, allowing you to know the state of your hull in HD detail. The camera is IP68 waterproof so you can submerge it with confidence.
The Keelcrab and Ultracrab can be used on underwater infrastructure as well as vessels, allowing you to contract with your local marinas to perform cleaning of their jetties and supports. Inhibiting the growth of algae and crustaceans will allow the marina or jetty owner to extend the life of their infrastructure, saving them time and money whilst helping to keep the marine ecosystem safe.
The use of Keelcrab and Ultracrab have been shown to increase fuel efficiency by up to 20%-30%, through the reduction of the drag caused by biofouling, giving you a better ride and reducing CO2 emissions. If you are sailing, your hull will be able to operate most effectively without the unwanted growth attached to it. You also can do a clean when and where you want.
The Keelcrab and Ultracrab require very little setup and no permanent fixings are attached to the hull. The Ultracrab ultrasonic transmitter is attached to a float and pulses the beams 24/7 to kill and inhibit the algae growth, without worrying the fish life. The Keelcrab cleans at a speed of up to two square metres per minute. Maintenance is easy too, with the Keelcrab drone just requiring a wash down with a hose after each use. It also has interchangeable bristles with different abrasion levels. There is an option for a collection bag to catch the fouling for sample assessment and removal.
