Remote Operations
Know the status of your cleaning. From Anywhere on Earth.
Tortuga gives stakeholders real-time workflow & 4k video status of their cleanings to ensure maximum uptime and accountability.
Capabilities
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
Live 4K Stereo Video
Stream real-time 4K footage from both robot cameras simultaneously. Operators see exactly what the robot sees — barnacle coverage, coating condition, and cleaning progress — as it happens.
Full Telemetry Feed
Continuous data stream covering depth, heading, brush RPM, and thruster load — all logged and timestamped for post-dive audits.
AI Hull Condition Reports
AI augmented SONAR generates a quantified fouling density map of the entire hull.
AES-256 Encrypted Link
All command and telemetry traffic is encrypted end-to-end using AES-256. No unencrypted data ever traverses the satellite or cellular link between our robots and our clients' pre-defined data-governance model.
Automated Anomaly Alerts
The system flags coating damage, unexpected hull geometry, or out-of-bounds sensor readings in real time. Operators receive push alerts and can intervene immediately.
Natural Wisdom
See how we manage our robots to deliver Just-In-Time Cleanings based on your asset's AIS data. Leverage your existing data spend to archive all cleanings in an intelligent and elastic search prompt to further increase Situational Awareness for all parties involved.
Workflow
From Deployment to Signed Report in Under a Day
Pre-Dive Briefing
The Tortuga team reviews the vessel's hull information, last fouling report, and dive plan. The robot is powered on and all systems are verified green via the pre-dive checklist.
- Automated system health check across all subsystems
- Operator confirms go/no-go via dashboard
Live Dive Operations
The robot is deployed in under 15 minutes. The Tortuga team monitors live video and telemetry throughout the dive, with full manual override available at any time.
- Live 4K dual-camera feed
- Real-time SONAR mapping of cleaned vs. uncleaned zones
- Operator can adjust cleaning pressure, speed, and path
- Automated alerts for anomalies or out-of-spec readings
Post-Dive Analysis
Immediately after recovery, the AI processes sonar and video data to generate a complete hull condition report — fouling density maps, coating integrity scores, and before/after comparisons.
- Full 3D sonar hull map with fouling density heatmap
- Coating integrity score per hull zone
- Before/after comparison against last dive data
- Estimated fuel savings from cleaning delivered
Report Delivery
The signed hull condition report is delivered to the Customer within minutes. All data is archived and documented in Tortuga's Quality Management System (QMS).
- PDF report with biofouling compliance documentation
- Data archived to fleet management system via API
- Automatic scheduling of next recommended dive
- Carbon savings certificate generated per dive
Tortuga operators monitor live telemetry and 4K video feeds from shore.
Connectivity
Always Connected. Even in the Middle of the Ocean.
The Tortuga system uses a dual-path communications architecture — primary cellular (4G/5G) in port and coastal waters, with automatic failover to low-latency satellite when out of range. The link is always encrypted and always redundant.
Fleet Management
One Dashboard. Your Entire Fleet.
The Tortuga Fleet Dashboard gives fleet managers a live global view of every vessel's hull condition, cleaning schedule, and compliance status. Integrates directly with your existing fleet management software via REST API.
Live vessel map
See every vessel's position, hull status, and next scheduled dive on a global map.
Compliance tracker
Automated biofouling compliance status for every hull — green, amber, or red.
Fuel savings ledger
Cumulative fuel and CO₂ savings per vessel and across the fleet, updated after every dive.
API integration
Push hull reports and compliance data directly into your fleet management system.
