K ROV is proud to announce the expansion of its eco-friendly in-water hull cleaning and inspection services to the Port of Gladstone—one of Queensland’s busiest and most strategically important maritime hubs. This move marks a significant milestone in K ROV’s continued growth across Australia’s East Coast.

Founded in Townsville and now headquartered in Brisbane, K ROV pioneered Australia’s first remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in-water hull cleaning system. Our mission has always been clear: to provide ship owners and operators with an environmentally responsible, efficient, and safe alternative to traditional hull maintenance practices.
With Gladstone’s growing industrial and shipping activity, the need for sustainable marine services has never been greater. Our state-of-the-art ROV systems allow for diver-free hull cleaning and inspection, dramatically reducing the environmental risks associated with biofouling, marine debris, and hull drag—all while minimizing downtime and disruption for vessel operators.

“We’re excited to bring our services to Gladstone, not just to support local maritime operations, but to offer a cleaner, safer, and smarter way to maintain vessel hulls,” said [Insert Spokesperson Name], [Title] at K ROV. “Our clients value speed, compliance, and environmental responsibility—and that’s what we deliver.”

K ROV’s ROV-based hull cleaning system uses high-efficiency rotating brush heads combined with real-time video monitoring. This ensures thorough cleaning without damaging antifouling coatings, and allows vessel operators to receive detailed inspection reports and video documentation upon completion.

By opening operations in Gladstone, K ROV now actively supports vessels from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg, and now Gladstone—cementing its role as a trusted leader in underwater maintenance across Queensland.
