CLIIN: Revolutionizing Maritime Cleaning with Robotics

CLIIN specializes in advanced robotic solutions for the maritime industry, focusing on optimizing cleaning processes to save time, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact.
Why Choose CLIIN?
- Faster Cleaning and Turnaround: CLIIN’s Cargo Hold Robot (CHR) replaces the traditional four-step cleaning process with a single-step, pure freshwater method. This innovation cuts cleaning time by 50%, allowing for faster vessel turnaround and increased operational efficiency.
- Improved Cleaning Quality: The CHR provides direct access to hard-to-reach areas within cargo holds, such as topside and behind frames, ensuring a thorough cleaning. This significantly improves the probability of approval during inspections.
- Environmentally Friendly: By using high-pressure fresh water, the CHR eliminates the need for harsh chemicals, drastically reducing the environmental footprint of the cleaning process. This approach not only benefits the environment but also enhances crew safety by minimizing exposure to toxic substances.
- Reduced Water and Sludge: The CHR uses significantly less water, generating only 40-70 mt of cleaning water compared to the 200 mt or more used in conventional methods. This results in less sludge, reducing disposal costs and environmental impact.
- Enhanced Safety: The robot can be operated remotely by 1-3 crew members from ground level, eliminating the need for dangerous work on cherry-pickers or scaffolds. This enhances the safety of the cleaning process and reduces the physical strain on the crew.
Client Success Stories
- Leading Shipowners: CLIIN’s technology has been adopted by prominent shipowners such as J. Lauritzen, Norden, Oldendorff Carriers, and Ultrabulk. These companies have reported significant benefits, including reduced chemical usage, improved preservation of cargo hold paint, and enhanced crew safety.
- Case Study – Ultrabulk: Ultrabulk’s General Manager, Anders Wulff, highlighted that using CLIIN robots has reduced the need for chemicals, improved paint preservation, and minimized environmental impact. The robots have also streamlined operations and reduced cleaning time substantially.
- Case Study – Oldendorff Carriers: Dexter Jeremiah, Managing Director Operations at Oldendorff Carriers, praised the robots for providing an efficient and safer alternative for cleaning cargo holds, significantly reducing operational risks and environmental impact.
Future Innovations
CLIIN is continually advancing its technology, incorporating features like magnetic belts and customized cleaning tools. The company is also exploring the integration of artificial intelligence and image recognition to further enhance the efficiency and autonomy of their robotic solutions.
