Laser Systems Can Deliver New Era of Maritime Durability and Efficiency
ORLANDO, Fla. May 16, 2025 – Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC), a leading global industrial developer of laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, today showcased the groundbreaking applications of its handheld CleanTech laser cleaning systems, heralding a paradigm shift in maritime asset protection and operational longevity.
The CleanTech line of laser cleaning systems offers a versatile, sustainable, non-abrasive, and highly efficient range of products designed for maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic of both commercial and naval vessels, effectively controlling corrosion and biofouling in marine environments. This cutting-edge technology is ideally suited for addressing areas that deteriorate over time, from intricate frame weldments and critical joint connections to expansive hull surfaces. Beyond superior corrosion control, CleanTech systems excel in rapid de-painting, precise surface preparation for new coatings, and the removal of contaminants, significantly reducing maintenance downtime and extending asset lifecycles.
“Our CleanTech series addresses a critical need in the maritime sector,” stated John Armstrong, Executive Vice President of Laser Photonics. “We’re not just offering another tool; we’re providing a smarter, more efficient way to enhance the longevity and operational readiness of marine assets, from the smallest utility craft to the largest naval carriers. Our advanced technology has significant implications for safeguarding investments, empowering crews, and fostering a healthier ocean ecosystem. We’re proud to bring this level of innovation to an industry that truly benefits from it.”
The economic impact of corrosion on the maritime industry is staggering, estimated to be in the trillions of dollars annually, encompassing direct repair costs, operational disruptions, and premature asset replacement. Laser Photonics’ CleanTech technology directly confronts this challenge, offering a superior alternative to traditional, often environmentally detrimental, methods such as abrasive blasting and chemical stripping. By leveraging focused laser energy, CleanTech systems precisely ablate unwanted material without damaging the substrate, ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more effective process. This translates to substantial long-term cost savings, reduced hazardous waste, and enhanced worker safety.
LPC is actively engaged with leading shipbuilding, marine maintenance, and naval organizations to integrate CleanTech solutions into their operational protocols, driving efficiency and sustainability across the sector.
