About
ScrubMarine is a UK-based maritime robotics startup developing autonomous systems to clean and inspect ship hulls. Founded in 2024 by 21-year-old robotics engineer Rohith Devanathan and co-founder Clyne Albertelli, the company builds a compact cavitation-powered robot called the Turtle—which removes biofouling without damaging coatings while capturing inspection data—alongside the Whale, an autonomous surface platform that deploys and recovers the robot without divers or port infrastructure. Biofouling costs the shipping industry over $100B annually and increases fuel consumption by up to 40%. ScrubMarine is headquartered in Whitehaven with an engineering base in Edinburgh, and has secured letters of support from Caledonian MacBrayne and Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
