Looking to the future, some are starting to use robotics to perform the necessary maintenance itself. Greensea makes a robot that can continuously scrub the hulls of ships, saving up to 20% on fuel, and making a huge reduction in the net emissions of the shipping industry.
This is the kind of work that currently requires a team of divers, so it isn’t done often enough, and results in enormous unnecessary emissions.
