High-Capacity Cruise Ship Exterior Cleaning System
Customare has developed a high-capacity exterior cleaning system specifically designed for modern cruise ships and large passenger vessels. Our experience includes solutions for large dome areas and other demanding surfaces where standard systems are not sufficient.
Each system is tailored to the vessel’s structure, ensuring safe and efficient access across all required areas.
Engineered for Complex Structures
Unlike solutions focused on localized cleaning tasks, the Customare system is engineered for rapid cleaning of extensive exterior surfaces during normal port calls. Operating at speeds of up to 10 metres per minute and covering a vertical cleaning height of approximately 15 metres, the system enables crews to efficiently clean thousands of square metres of exterior surfaces while the vessel is alongside.
Using a specially developed high-pressure water cleaning process, the system effectively removes:
* Salt deposits and sea spray residues
* Bird droppings
* Atmospheric contamination
* Dirt accumulation from normal vessel operations
Window Cleaning System Benefits
Regular removal of salt and contaminants helps maintain the vessel’s appearance, protects painted and coated surfaces, and supports lower maintenance costs throughout the vessel lifecycle.
The system has been developed specifically for the demanding cruise industry environment, where cleaning operations must be completed safely, efficiently and within the limited time available during port stays. Large exterior areas that would otherwise require extensive manual labour can be cleaned systematically with minimal crew involvement.
Key Benefits:
* Cleaning speed up to 10 m/min
* Approximately 15 m vertical cleaning reach
* Thousands of square metres cleaned during a single port call
* Reduced dependence on manual cleaning operations
* Improved crew safety
* Consistent and repeatable cleaning quality
* Reduced long-term maintenance requirements
* Marine-grade construction for continuous shipboard operation
Designed And Manufactured
In Finland
As cruise ships continue to grow in size and complexity, operators are increasingly seeking practical solutions that can maintain vessel appearance without adding operational burden. While many emerging technologies focus on localized cleaning, inspection or spot-treatment tasks, Customare’s system is designed for large-scale exterior maintenance, providing a practical and efficient solution for preserving the vessel’s appearance throughout its operational life.
Designed and manufactured in Finland, the system reflects Customare’s expertise in marine automation, mechanical engineering and mission-critical equipment for demanding maritime environments.
The result is a cleaner vessel, improved passenger perception, enhanced asset protection and lower lifecycle maintenance costs.
Built for Real Cruise Ship
Operations
The true challenge is not cleaning a small area of a vessel, it is maintaining the appearance of an entire cruise ship throughout years of operation.
Customare’s exterior cleaning technology enables ship operators to utilize regular port stays for systematic removal of salt, bird droppings and environmental contaminants before they accumulate and become costly maintenance issues. By transforming routine port calls into productive maintenance opportunities, operators can maintain a consistently high visual standard while reducing the need for labour-intensive cleaning campaigns and specialist access equipment.
The result is a cleaner vessel, improved passenger perception, enhanced asset protection and lower lifecycle maintenance costs.
Tailored Solutions for Long-Term Performance
Every vessel presents different structural and operational challenges, especially when working with large glass surfaces and dome structures. That is why each system is custom-designed rather than based on standard configurations.
By combining engineering expertise with practical marine understanding, we create reliable solutions built for continuous use, minimal maintenance, and dependable long-term performance in real operating environments.
