  CleanSubSea Limited (previously named GRD-Franmarine Holdings Ltd) is a Western Australian based company, which owns all IP, licenses and patent rights associated with a revolutionary new fully enclosed capture and containment in-water hull cleaning technology called the “Envirocart” . The Envirocart blade technology enables the complete removal, capture and containment of marine biofouling from a vessel’s hull without damaging the antifouling paint or polluting the surrounding marine environment.The Envirocart is the only in-water hull cleaning technology on the global market that is capable of meeting the current water discharge quality guidelines and the new Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (“DAFF”) In-water Hull Cleaning guidelines. This innovative technology tested and supported by the required regulatory certifications in hand, removes the very costly and time consuming exercise of dry-docking commercial vessels for hull cleaning. This in turn enables a viable, regular, in-water cleaning maintenance protocol, that significantly reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the maritime sector.Management believes the Envirocart will revolutionise the international hull cleaning industry and allow GRD-Franmarine to grow on the back of this new technology to become a global leader in hull cleaning.
