HullSight Ultimate: The Best Automated Biofouling Analysis
HullSight Ultimate delivers immediate operational benefits while establishing the digital foundation for future fleet optimization. The cloud-based system transforms underwater hull inspection videos into standardized, objective biofouling assessments through advanced computer vision technology, providing reliable reports today that replace inconsistent manual assessments. Simultaneously, the standardized digital data collection creates the foundation for predictive maintenance, fuel consumption optimization, and fleet-wide performance analytics that will drive operational efficiency in the years ahead.
What is HullSight Ultimate?
HullSight Ultimate is a cloud-based solution for automated processing of underwater hull inspection videos. During inspections, videos are captured from different sections of the ship hull. The data is then uploaded to the system, where images are automatically extracted from the videos to ensure the inspected area is covered completely. The advanced computer vision engine analyzes the amount and type of biofouling attached to the surface. With a single click, you can generate a standardized biofouling report or export data in structured formats for integration with existing maintenance management systems.

Digital Foundation for Predictive Analysis
Collecting detailed, standardized biofouling status data is the essential prerequisite for advanced predictive maintenance scenarios. The systematic documentation of hull conditions over time creates the data foundation necessary for developing predictive models that can forecast fuel consumption impacts, optimize cleaning schedules based on biofouling progression patterns, and enable fleet-wide performance benchmarking. Without consistent, quantified biofouling assessments, these predictive capabilities remain impossible to achieve reliably.

Comprehensive Biofouling Report
HullSight Ultimate revolutionizes hull inspection reporting with one-click automated PDF generation. Create comprehensive, professional reports instantly that include complete vessel information, systematic overviews of all inspected hull sections and niche areas, and detailed statistical analysis with annotated sample images for each section. The intelligent report engine automatically compiles inspection data into industry-standard formats, saving hours of manual documentation while ensuring consistent, professional-quality outputs that meet regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.
Automated Biofouling Analysis
At the core of HullSight Ultimate lies our cutting-edge automated biofouling analysis engine, powered by advanced AI and machine learning algorithms. This sophisticated system precisely identifies and quantifies various types of marine growth across every surface of the vessel hull, delivering accurate predictions of biofouling coverage and distribution. The intelligent analysis distinguishes between different fouling organisms—from light slime to heavy barnacle growth—providing detailed insights into contamination levels that directly impact vessel performance and fuel efficiency. This automated approach eliminates human error and ensures consistent, reliable assessments that support data-driven maintenance decisions and environmental compliance reporting.
Custom Biofouling Scales
HullSight Ultimate offers unparalleled flexibility in biofouling assessment with fully customizable rating scales tailored to your specific operational needs and regulatory requirements. Define precise mappings from fouling percentages to custom biofouling ratings through intuitive script-based configuration, enabling standardized assessments across your entire fleet. The system includes pre-built industry-standard scales such as the AMPP (Association of Materials Protection and Performance) rating system, ensuring immediate compliance with established maritime guidelines. This dual approach of custom configuration and certified standards allows organizations to maintain consistency with existing protocols while adapting to unique vessel types, trading routes, or environmental conditions—delivering comprehensive reporting that meets both internal quality standards and external regulatory expectations.
