Qualified for aquaculture – now ready for the global energy market
At Bravo Marine, we bring innovation and efficiency to the forefront of underwater cleaning and maintenance. Our patented high-pressure cleaning module C-RAY® ROV system is designed to tackle the toughest marine growth challenges, ensuring your submerged infrastructure remains clean, efficient, and safe.
In this video, we present the latest version of Bravo Marine’s C-RAY, designed for cleaning offshore structures. The C-RAY is an ROV-based underwater cleaning machine that uses water and high pressure to remove all types of marine growth.
The C-RAY automatically adjusts to the structure it is placed against, allowing it to clean both pipes and flat surfaces underwater in a fast, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective way.
The C-RAY® ROV: Marin Cleaning Services
The C-RAY® ROV is a patented high-pressure cleaning module mounted on a robust, specially designed ROV platform. This cutting-edge technology offers:
- High-Pressure Cleaning: Operates with water pressure between 250 and 300 bar and a flow rate of 140 liters per minute, adjustable to meet specific requirements.
- Versatile Cleaning Capabilities: Effective on all geometries – round, curved, or flat. Capable of handling high volumes of marine growth (MG) and large surface areas.
- Dual Functionality: When not equipped with the washing module, the ROV serves as a standard observation tool for inspection of submerged infrastructure.
