Damen Shiprepair Dunkerque Introduces Autonomous Blast & Paint Robots
Following successful trials, Damen Shiprepair Dunkerque has implemented five cutting-edge Autonomous Mobile Blast & Paint Robots (AMBPR) – marking a significant step forward in shipyard surface preparation and coating application.
Designed specifically for ship repair environments, these robots offer enhanced safety, efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings. Capable of performing complete hull restoration, including high-pressure washing, abrasive and ultra-high-pressure blasting, and precise painting, the robots are remotely operated to protect personnel and reduce environmental impact.
Key features include a closed-loop water system, reduced paint consumption, and a future-ready hybrid power source, making them a smart choice for forward-thinking shipyards.
