Fleet Robotics (formerly Fleet Cleaner)
Delft-based Fleet Cleaner, rebranded Fleet Robotics in April 2025, builds in-house magnetic-adhesion hull-cleaning robots that clean ship hulls above and below the waterline with high-pressure water jets while capturing the removed fouling for processing. Robots are operated from a 24/7 remote operations center in Delft (commissioned 2022) and the company has stated autonomous path-tracking and route planning around hull objects as its development direction. It reports over 2,500 underwater maintenance operations across 10 countries, offers the only ATEX-certified solution for cleaning tankers during cargo operations, and counts MSC among its first customers. Not to be confused with the Boston-based hull-cleaning startup of the same name (fleetrobotics.ai). Slug de-conflicted: the US Fleet Robotics (Somerville, MA) already holds fleet-robotics on the register.
