The Oceanik Tech team is developing an autonomous underwater cleaning device for vessels and underwater surfaces, primarily targeting large commercial ships. Currently, hull cleaning relies on specialized services involving divers or manually operated machines, which is expensive and time-consuming—individual cleanings can cost up to €100,000 and are repeated several times per year.

Oceanik Tech is creating a solution that automatically activates, cleans the hull, and returns to the surface without human intervention. In addition to cost reduction and increased efficiency, the device addresses a serious environmental issue: the transfer of invasive species between marine ecosystems. The team has over 15 years of experience in underwater cleaning and vessel development, enabling rapid, focused prototyping validated with key industry stakeholders.
