About the company
Franmarine strengthens maritime readiness and environmental resilience by delivering innovative underwater sustainment solutions in lieu of dry-docking. This comprehensive capability includes underwater cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and repair, offering a trusted and scalable alternative to costly and limited dry-dock facilities across the Indo-Pacific.
A cornerstone of Franmarine’s contribution is its lifecycle biofouling management program, a holistic, technology-enabled sustainment system "MarineStream", that extends far beyond in-water hull cleaning. It encompasses prevention, control, quality assurance, and continuous improvement, enhancing platform endurance while ensuring environmental and biosecurity compliance. Franmarine’s biofouling management leadership also directly supports evolving global standards.
The company is well positioned to help government and industry meet the International Maritime Organization’s new legally binding global regulatory framework on biofouling, currently under development and expected for adoption in 2027. This emerging regime will place renewed focus on proactive, lifecycle-based biofouling management—a standard Franmarine already delivers.
