Corrosion monitoring of submerged surfaces is a challenging task at best. Besides being underwater, these surfaces are often covered in biofouling, preventing simple visual inspection. The biofouling itself, and the removal of the biofouling can damage the protective coatings, increasing the risk of corrosion. This paper will explore how a small autonomous robot can be used to proactively remove early-stage biofouling from a surface, ensuring the coating system remains intact, while simultaneously providing valuable visual inspection data. The paper will include results from the proactive cleaning of multiple vessels, as well as the long-term cleaning of test fixtures in high fouling pressure environments, as well as discuss the multiple benefits of maintaining a clean surface across different applications. Further, the paper will provide an overview of the technology enabling the autonomous capabilities as well as introduce potential future avenues for expansion of the technology throughout the subsea market
