There are robots the size of small cars that are good at this work already. There have probably been companies for leasing them negotiating contracts for flying out and doing the job weeks ago.
Over 50s me would love to do this. Though perhaps not on the schedule this work demands.
22 year old single me would have enjoyed this little adventure.
It's one of the most physically though jobs there is, a great challenge for a young man wanting it.
Automated barnacle carwash coin! Anyone?
It's a 1-2 day job per ship depending on size of the diving crew.
