Hull Guardian
The Intelligent Hull Standard
Auckland’s Premium Hull Management Subscription.
Proactive hull management for optimized performance. Hull Guardian operates a robotic grooming membership designed to protect your hull, extend your antifoul lifespan, maximize fuel efficiency and improve year-round biosecurity compliance.
Vessel Performance
A fouled hull creates hydrodynamic drag, forcing your engines to work harder to reach cruising speed. Proactive cleaning keeps your hull hydro-dynamically smooth. This eliminates unnecessary engine load, reduces long-term wear on your machinery, and improves fuel efficiency by up to 20%.
Cost Saving
Traditional maintenance is reactive and expensive. By actively removing micro-fouling before it becomes established, we protect and extend the effective lifespan of your antifoul coating. A Hull Guardian subscription can push back your expensive boatyard haul-outs and hardstand schedules by months or even years, saving you thousands annually.
Peace of Mind
Operate with zero guesswork. Our closed-loop robotic system captures bio-waste down to 50 microns, aligning with New Zealands Marine Biosecurity rules. After every service, you receive our ‘Guardian Diagnostic’, a high-definition 4K video of your hull and running gear, giving you total confidence in your vessel's condition.
Set and Forget Management.
Hull Guardian replaces reactive scrubbing with proactive robotic grooming. Using state of the art ROV technology, we maintain your hull at Level 1 (Slime-Free) on a customized, recurring rotation.
Our soft-foam technology wipes away biofilm without scratching your gelcoat or degrading your antifoul. Your paint lasts significantly longer.
We don't pollute your marina. Our system features a closed-loop 50-micron vacuum that captures biological waste for safe, land-based disposal.
We replace the "Black Box" of diver invoices with corporate-level transparency. After every groom, you receive a 4K video report of your hull, running gear, and intakes sent directly to you.
Our Process
We deploy our 4K camera to inspect your hull, intakes, and running gear before the brush ever touches the fiberglass.
The Pre-Dive Audit.
Our underwater ROV adheres to the hull via amotored pump, using soft-nylon brushes to wipe away foul while capturing the biomass in a 50-micron filter.
The Groom.
You receive a time-stamped 4K video report sent directly to your phone, proving your hull is race-ready and biosecurity compliant.
The Digital Handover.
The Operation
We’ve redefined hull maintenance with a focus on technology and data, providing transparency with every operation.
