"Offshore Designs Ltd (ODL) is developing an On the Go (OTG) ship hull cleaning robot to service large ocean-going vessels while they transit between ports. The goal is to provide ship operators a cost-effective means of maintaining a clean hull to maximize fuel savings, minimize GHG emissions and prevent spreading invasive species. At the start of this project ODL had completed preliminary engineering design and analysis to evaluate the feasibility of operating a hull cleaning robot while a vessel is underway. The funding from Transport Canada (TC) allowed ODL to advance from the preliminary design stage to having a detail design complete and ready for fabrication and field trials. Physical testing of key systems such as the cavitating waterjets used for cleaning and magnetic crawler used for maneuvering was completed as part of the project to inform the detail design. In addition, an environmental impact study completed by environmental consultants provided clear science-based guidelines for performing hull cleanings both in-harbour and underway for local and international vessels"--Abstract, page iii (first section).
