Revolutionizing Maritime Operations: RobotPlusPlus Introduces Innovative Cargo Hold Cleaning Solution

RobotPlusPlus has just rolled out some exciting innovations in maritime robotics at Sea Asia 2025, happening right now at the Marina Bay Sands Convention center in Singapore.

One of the standout features is the HighMate C20 Cargo Hold Cleaning Robot. This nifty gadget is designed to tackle the notoriously tough job of cleaning cargo holds, especially those that transport nickel ore. Nickel ore can be a real headache to clean due to its moisture content, which makes it sticky and prone to clinging onto surfaces. It often gathers in hard-to-reach corners, complicating cleanup efforts even further.

The HighMate C20 aims to make this process much easier and quicker.It can cover nearly all (up to 95%) of a cargo hold’s surface area, considerably reducing the hazards linked with manual cleaning at heights. Plus,it operates effectively even when the cargo hatch is closed—no need for cherry pickers or other cumbersome equipment!

What’s more? The robot’s design is super user-amiable; seafarers can get up to speed on its basic functions in just about ten minutes! This accessibility means ship crews can easily integrate it into their operations.

You can check out live demonstrations of this innovative robot at Booth B2-Q25 during the event. The HighMate C20 first made waves at SMM 2024 in Germany and boasts advanced driving controls along with flexible navigation capabilities that shine in tight spaces.

But that’s not all! robotplusplus is also showcasing their HighMate AP Series Multi-Function Robot, engineered for blasting and coating steel surfaces. This model reportedly outperforms conventional manual methods by four times and meets ATEX and IECEx standards for safe operation in explosive environments—a crucial factor for maritime safety.
