Going Green with Robotics

Integrated 3-in-1 Marine Response by SHECO

SHECO’s robotics platform combines oil recovery, autonomous boom deployment and debris collection to rapidly respond to marine incidents. Designed for ports, harbors, canals, and coastal waters, the system enables faster, safer, and more efficient spill response without manual deployment.

Overcoming Limits

By Improving Your Response Time

Manual Spill Response Slows Critical First Action

Traditional oil spill response relies heavily on manual deployment of containment booms and equipment. This process requires time, personnel, and vessel coordination therefore delaying response during the critical early moments when oil can spread rapidly across confined waterways and port environments.

Conventional Skimmers Struggle in Modern Spill Conditions

Conventional skimming systems are large, complex, and difficult to deploy quickly. They often struggle to recover low-viscosity fuels and are not effective in shallow or confined environments such as canals, berthing areas, and industrial waterfront facilities.

Marine Recovery Robot

ARK Series 3-in-1 System

The system includes three specialized robotic units: Module-M for oil recovery, Module-F for automated oil boom deployment, and Module-C for debris collection. Together, they enable faster spill containment, recovery, and cleanup in ports, harbors, and confined waterways while reducing the need for manual response.
