Neptune Robotics has been named to the Forbes Asia 100 to Watch 2026 list.
Co-founder and CEO Elizabeth Chan stated: “Marine biofouling remains a major challenge to maritime efficiency and emissions reduction. This recognition highlights our team’s work in automated robotic hull cleaning alongside other innovators across the Asia-Pacific region.”
Since 2019, Neptune Robotics has focused on developing AI-powered robots to address biofouling both above and below the waterline. Through cavitational waterjet technology that provides maximum protection to antifouling coatings, the cutting-edge solutions enable shipowners and charterers to reduce hull drag, cut fuel consumption, and lower carbon emissions – with operations spanning 61 ports across the China-Singapore shipping route.
This recognition is a meaningful encouragement and supports Neptune’s commitment to making global shipping cleaner, safer and more sustainable — one vessel at a time.
