ENSTA is participating in the SEARENITY project, which is developing an autonomous magnetic robot to clean ship hulls, contributing to the decarbonization of maritime transport.

ENSTA is one of the partners in the SEARENITY project. This initiative was selected under the « CORIMER Navire Bas Carbone » call for projects, receiving funding from Ademe and France 2030.
The primary goal of SEARENITY is to develop an autonomous robot with magnetic capabilities, designed for continuous intervention on ship hulls.
This technology aims to improve hull hydrodynamics, thereby reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with maritime transport.
