The maritime industry faces increasing pressure to reduce environmental impacts and comply with stringent international regulations regarding biofouling and hull maintenance. AHICI will address these challenges by introducing advanced inspection methods, eco-friendly cleaning technologies and comprehensive bio-waste management that brings Australia to the front of global innovation, protects marine eco-systems and drives operational excellence.

AHICI Aims To:

• Drive Innovation: By bringing technology, industry and governmnet together to identify and evaluate risk, reduce costs and improve response times.
• Enhance Maritime Safety: Reduce the risks associated with poor hull maintenance, such as maneuverability, operational performance and structural integrity.
• Environmental Protection: Minimize the environmental impact of biofouling and invasive species through eco-friendly cleaning practices.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all operations meet global standards set by international, domestic and local regulatory bodies and standards.
• Operational Efficiency: Improve vessel performance, reduce operational costs and lower emissions by maintaining optimal hull conditions.
