A new robot may help keep ships’ bottoms clean
Roar Ådland interviewed by The Economist: A midsized oil tanker’s fuel consumption drops by around 9 % after its hull is cleaned at sea. However, if the cleaning is done in a dry dock, that figure can be as much as 17 %.
This, of course means that the oil tanker’s emission of carbon dioxide will drop accordingly, Roar Ådland says in this interview with The Economist on 28 May, 2020.
