Greensea IQ’s EverClean robotic hull grooming service is now operational in the Port of New York and New Jersey, marking a significant step in the region’s push for cleaner, more efficient shipping. Based in Monroe Township, NJ, the service is poised to revolutionize hull maintenance for the port’s massive container fleet—over 8 million TEUs passed through in 2023 alone.
EverClean isn’t just another cleaning service. It’s a proactive, robotic system that tackles microfouling before it can drag down a vessel’s performance. By keeping hulls smooth and clean, it cuts fuel consumption and emissions—critical in an era where efficiency isn’t just good business, it’s regulatory necessity. Unlike traditional in-water cleaning, which is often reactive and disruptive, EverClean is a fully managed, scheduled service that fits seamlessly into a vessel’s operational rhythm.
“EverClean’s robotic service removes microfouling before it becomes a problem, optimizing vessel performance, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering emissions.” The service’s expansion into the Port of New York and New Jersey is no accident. As the second-busiest container port in the U.S., it’s a pressure point for decarbonization. With vessels operating on tight turnaround schedules, proactive maintenance isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity. EverClean’s local presence means faster response times and fewer delays, making it a practical solution for operators under the gun to meet efficiency targets.
This isn’t just about one port or one service. It’s a signal that robotic, data-driven maintenance is becoming the new standard in maritime operations. As regulatory and commercial pressures mount, proactive solutions like EverClean will play a bigger role in keeping vessels compliant and competitive. The question now is: will other ports and operators follow suit, or will New York and New Jersey set the pace for the industry?
