Problems solved by technology

Thus, it is undesirable for one or more brush pieces to unnecessarily agitate, remove and / or damage expensive stain repellents or existing coatings
[0010] Additionally, some conventional brush-based underwater hull cleaners must be manually operated by divers and / or lack the ability to provide environmentally friendly hull cleaning

Abstract

According to embodiments of the present invention, an underwater hull cleaning machine is provided. The cleaning machine includes a housing including a base region adapted to be arranged facing at least part of an external surface to be cleaned; a guiding mechanism coupled to the housing, wherein the guiding mechanism is configured to enable the cleaning machine to be maneuvered along the externalsurface; and at least one brush configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, the at least one brush is extended downwardly towards the base region to be in contact with the external surface. In the retracted position, the at least one brush is moved upwardly away from the base region to be free from contact with the external surface. According to further embodiments, a hull cleaning system and a method for cleaning a vessel hull are also provided.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Singapore Patent Application No. 10201803261S filed on 18 April 2018, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. technical field [0003] Various embodiments relate to an underwater hull washer, a hull washing system, and a method for washing a vessel hull. Background technique [0004] The cost of fuel in a ship accounts for a major part of the overall operating cost, and burning more fuel also leads to the "greenhouse effect". In order to reduce operating costs and reduce the "greenhouse effect", it is necessary to effectively manage and reduce the fuel consumption of ships. Fuel is used to generate propulsion energy for the ship. In order to achieve high levels of propulsion energy efficiency, for example, the hydrodynamic drag (or friction) from the ship's hull needs to be minimized. [0005] In order to minimize or even eliminate th...
