Under the agreement Hullwiper will provide cleaning services for Equinor's fleet trading in Scandinavia, Far East, Middle East and Europe. The service uses an ROV to clean the vessel's hull and there is no need to use divers, reducing the risks involved, and meaning cleaning can be carried out at any time of day or night.
