Hull-Optimization-as-a-Service

In Water/At Port

Better Economy. Lower Emissions.

North American Hull Optimization (NAHO) the only regulatory compliant system to legally and seamlessly perform hull cleanings and optimization in water/at port in North America, saving shipping companies millions in the process, while significantly reducing CO2 emissions.

Regulatory Compliance

The only system capable of 99% of micro and macro fouling capture — meeting and exceeding EPA NPDES requirements by a wide margin with the highest percentage of capture rates in the world.

Peak Performance

Keep hulls completely fouling-free and optimized continuously at port, eliminating days out of service and maintaining near-peak hydrodynamic efficiency.

Environmental Impact

At full subscription, NAHO generates per hull CO₂ savings equivalent to taking 1100 cars off the road for a year.

The Vacu‑Cart & Reclaim System

Proven technology. Human precision.

The NAHO Vacu-Cart & Reclaim system offers the definitive solution to biofouling with an in water/at port cleaning system that captures 99% of biofouling debris. The system cleans the entire hull — curved surfaces and niches included — while divers supervise the process for consistently superior results.
