With a strong focus on sustainability, their revolutionary technology cuts operational costs, carbon emissions, and the spread of alien invasive species, addressing the industry's quest for greater eco-friendliness. ECOsubsea's innovative and advanced technology has earned them licenses to operate in ports with strict environmental benchmarks.

The company was founded in 2008 by Norwegian brothers Tor M. Østervold and Klaus Østervold. Their vision was to transform the pressing environmental problem of biofouling into a profitable business for shipowners and ports, making shipping greener.

By efficiently cleaning ship hulls, ECOsubsea improves water quality in ports, reduces CO2 emissions, and cuts fuel costs. Their commitment to sustainability and their role as an enabler of sustainable marine activities in the ESG market of biofouling make ECOsubsea the go-to choice for environmentally conscious shipowners
