ElectroSea’s Clearline System came on the market last year and obviated the need for expensive descaling services, which often have to be performed a few times in year in warmer waters. The systems quickly became part of standard and option build sheets for more than 45 builders, including Azimut, Marlow, Princess, Riviera and Viking. It’s newest model takes the company into superyacht territory: the CL-2000 is focused on yachts larger than 90 feet LOA. “CL-2000 provides owners of superyachts with ElectroSea’s advanced technology to protect their vessel against unwanted marine growth in seawater pipes and strainers,” said ElectroSea CEO and president Daniel Cosentino in a statement.
