Matsya Systems Next generation Underwater Ship Hull Cleaning
Customer Pain Points Biofouling occurs on ships, despite advances like anti-biofouling paint Causes increase in fuel consumption by 5-10% (mild growth) 10-25% (within 4-6 months) 50-85% (extreme cases, stagnant ship) Ship hull damaged by biofouling
How is the pain point addressed currently ? Hull Cleaning Frequency: Once in 2.5 years Manual Cleaning: Issue: Inefficient, time consuming, dangerous, damages paint, polluting Out-of-turn shipment to foreign port like Singapore Issue: Requires extra logistics and planning Change in salinity Issue: Requires extra logistics and planning, stops biogrowth, does not remove it
Insights from Customer Interaction “The reduction in logistics efforts if such a service is provided in India would be a lot” - Captain Ashwini GM, Tanker Dept., SCI “This idea has immense potential” - Capt. Shailendra Kohli, Deputy Conservator, MPT
