C-RAY subsea biofouling removal

• Published 29 April 2026; updated 30 September 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes.
• Availability shown: Europe and Asia; offshore wind, maritime and energy.
• Product: Bravo Marine’s patented C-RAY ROV cleaning system, combining high-pressure water jets and rotating discs on a specialised underwater vehicle.
• Operation: automatically adapts to the surface; intended for pipes, flat surfaces, corners and difficult-to-reach subsea equipment; deployable from vessels or offshore structures; rated to 300 m depth.
• Use cases: cleaning marine growth from wind turbines, offshore structures, vessels and other submerged assets, including during operation, life extension and decommissioning. The ROV can also be used for observation/inspection without its cleaning module.
• Reported benefits: on-site cleaning avoids moving structures, reduces vessel use and CO₂ emissions, and limits spread of marine growth; the page also claims lower cost and safer operations than diver- or work-class-ROV-based approaches.
• Market figures stated: subsea-cleaning and decommissioning market estimated at USD 8–9 billion in 2025 and projected at USD 16–17 billion by 2034. Europe is described as about half the market; Asia as fastest-growing, with roughly 1,500 platforms in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand entering decommissioning; Australia is identified as a future market.

• Published 29 April 2026; updated 30 September 2026; 2-minute read. Bravo Marine’s patented C-RAY ROV system uses high-pressure water jets and rotating discs to remove marine growth from submerged structures. The module is mounted on a purpose-designed ROV, automatically adapts to the surface, works on pipes and flat surfaces, reaches 300 metres depth and is shaped to access corners and difficult subsea equipment. Without the cleaning module, the ROV can be used for observation and inspection.
• The page says on-site cleaning avoids moving structures, reducing vessel use, costs, CO₂ emissions and the chance of spreading marine growth. It describes use during offshore-wind operations, lifetime extension and decommissioning, and availability in Europe and Asia. Market figures reported are USD 8–9 billion in 2025, projected to USD 16–17 billion by 2034; the article says Europe accounts for around half and Asia has about 1,500 platforms entering decommissioning. Linked UN SDGs: 9 and 14.
